The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko received the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglob in Minsk. The officer on duty collected the essentials. Lukashenko proposed to revive the Soviet practice, in which Belarus was responsible for supplying much-needed goods mainly to St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kaliningrad. We are talking about food, mechanical engineering and elevator repairs. Belarus is also ready to provide fuel supply assistance. In general, Lukashenko called the cooperation between Belarus and St. Petersburg exemplary, which can be set as an example. The President also awarded Beglov with the Order of Honor for his significant personal contribution to the development of commercial, economic and cultural ties, strengthening international cooperation between Belarus and Russia. Baglob is one of the Russian governors who meet most frequently with Lukashenko. A year ago, the parties held talks on deepening cooperation. Lukashenko expressed his willingness to provide elevators, firefighting equipment and food to St. Petersburg. The establishment of new joint ventures is discussed. In addition, at the same time, Lukashenko announced Belarus' interest in using the port of St. Petersburg Bronka, through which the republic, which has no access to the world ocean, is going to transfer about 7 million tons of cargo.
