Reaching $1 billion in trade is far from being the limit for Belarus and Russia’s Bryansk Oblast, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Bryansk Oblast Governor Alexander Bogomaz on 1 February, BelTA has learned.
The Belarusian leader welcomed the head of the Russian region in Minsk, noting that they had a brief talk at the Kupala festival in Alexandria last July. Apart from that, Alexander Bogomaz visits Gomel Oblast quite often. According to the president, he instructed Gomel Oblast Governor Ivan Krupko to develop closer cooperation with Bryansk Oblast. “I have been informed that you have established good contacts. I welcome them and will support them in every possible way,” the Belarusian leader said.
