“The communiqué spells out the area of work and key targets that need to be promptly achieved in agriculture, food security, manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceutics, personnel training and human capital development, emergency prevention and response. It also lays out what should be included in cooperation roadmaps in the future and names organizations responsible for implementing the tasks. For several weeks, we will work hard in a remote mode to compile action algorithms and might also work through possible contracts,” Viktor Karankevich said.
In addition to assistance with introducing advanced mining technologies, Belarus will also supply modern equipment for the mining industry, as well as healthcare products and pharmaceuticals, medicines, equipment, and consumables.
