What areas of cooperation will Belarus and Altai develop? Maxim Lysenko emphasized that Russia continues to be a key strategic partner of Belarus in the international arena, and cooperation with Altai is an example of effective interaction at the regional level. "We are in the process of jointly searching for ways of mutual cooperation in various fields, and it is important to continue this work. I am confident that today's visit will give a powerful boost to our cooperation, and the personal connections created will contribute to a quick and efficient solution to any issue," he said. The minister noted that this year the economic dynamics decreased a little. "This indicates that we need to jointly analyze the reasons for this dynamic and find tools to reproduce it. At the same time, in modern conditions we see a huge potential for joint work. For our part, we support any initiative of the Belarusian and Russian side that will contribute both to strengthening the ties that have already been established and to the development of new areas of interaction," Maxim Lysenko added.
