The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, met with the chairman of Gomel's regional executive committee, Ivan Krupko, and the ambassador of Belarus to Russia, Yuriy Sliverstov, to discuss strengthening cooperation. They talked about joint projects in the economy, industry, construction, education and health.
Vorobyov noted that Belarus is one of the main economic partners of the region, and the trade turnover in the first half of 2026 increased by 27%. The Moscow region accounts for almost a fifth of all trade between countries, and the volume of mutual trade with the Gomel region amounted to 1.2 billion dollars last year.
"It is important to us that the cooperation will bring concrete results - new factories and jobs, cutting-edge technologies, opportunities for experts and youth."
