He noted that the trade between Vologda Oblast and Belarus made up $531 million in 2012. Belarus is the biggest trading partner of Vologda Oblast in the CIS and second biggest trading partner in the world. Vologda Oblast and Belarus concluded a number of intergovernmental agreements that helped build up joint economic potential and expand ties. “Therefore, Belarus is our major strategic partner. I am personally interested in promoting our cooperation,” the Vologda Oblast Governor said.
Oleg Kuvshinnikov believes that the two countries could greatly benefit from establishing more joint ventures. “I would like to see more joint ventures in Russia, including in Vologda Oblast.
