The Belarusian Head of State briefly discussed the projects being currently implemented.

“Firstly, Belarusian enterprises have been supplying products to the assembly lines of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant and the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant for a number of years. Moreover, the programme for 2021–2023 is being currently completed,” he noted. “Secondly, the implementation of a joint project for the production of semi-trailers based on the MAZ chassis in the Ulyanovsk Region continues. Thirdly, our organisations have established strong co-operative ties in the field of radioelectronics. Moreover, the Belarusian enterprise Integral supplies a wide range of electronic components, display modules and video monitors for the Russian military-industrial complex.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko asked Aleksei Russkikh to share his assessment of the effectiveness of this work.
