[00:00:00] friendship, we
[00:00:02] exchange visits,
[00:00:05] participate in various international
[00:00:08] events, we pay great attention to
[00:00:11] trade and economic topics. Belarus
[00:00:14] is primarily interested in
[00:00:17] opportunities
[00:00:19] for supplying its equipment to
[00:00:22] Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is
[00:00:26] a mining country,
[00:00:30] our heavy грузовые
[00:00:34] trucks are popular there, it
[00:00:36] is an agricultural country,
[00:00:39] so there are many points of contact between Belarus and Uzbekistan.
[00:00:43] Belarusians can once again travel to Qatar. Belavia resumed charter
[00:00:47] flights to Doha from August 10th. The flight
[00:00:50] program was suspended in March due to the unstable
[00:00:53] situation in the region, but after confirmation of safety from the
[00:00:57] tourist agency. The route returns.
[00:01:00] Flights will be operated once every 10-11 days. In
[00:01:04] 4 years, Doha has become one of the most popular
[00:01:08] destinations. Made in Belarus continues to conquer foreign markets,
[00:01:12] especially in this hot summer. A company from Kobrin
[00:01:15] supplies sweet dairy treats to Russia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan,
[00:01:19] Kazakhstan, Georgia, and the Chinese market.
[00:01:22] In May and June, the factory shipped
[00:01:25] 16 tons of ice cream
[00:01:28] to China.
[00:02:00] In addition, many consumers come from afar, spending 2-3 hours
[00:02:03] on a bus, having heard about the taste of Belarusian
[00:02:07] ice cream. In addition to ice cream, the product range also includes
[00:02:11] cocktails, which are also made from
[00:02:14] high-quality Belarusian raw materials. Plus,
[00:02:17] we added delivery to the project.
[00:02:21] Now products are delivered to nearby areas,
[00:02:24] and I'll be honest, a second
[00:02:28] Belarusian ice cream retail pavilion has already opened in Shanghai.
[00:02:32] The opening took place on June
[00:02:35] 26th, and it is also successfully gaining
[00:04:08] Belarus considers Algeria to be one of the key partners in North
[00:04:12] Africa and welcomes an active exchange of bilateral
[00:04:15] delegation visits in the fields of industry and agriculture.
[00:04:18] The Free Economic Zone in Vitebsk expands
[00:04:22] business cooperation with Uzbekistan. During
[00:04:25] online negotiations, the parties discussed prospects for cooperation,
[00:04:28] export-import potential, and the implementation
[00:04:30] of investment projects. Belarus is actively increasing its supplies
[00:04:34] of rapeseed oil both to the domestic market and for export. With
[00:04:38] the guest of the program, we will talk about the new trend in the food culture of Belarusians, about
[00:04:42] how a domestic product conquers foreign
[00:05:14] of the Eurasian Economic Union have concluded an agreement on
[00:05:17] electronic trade in goods in the EAEU.
[00:05:21] The document was signed by the Prime Ministers of the five countries following the meeting
[00:05:24] of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Kyrgyzstan. Our economic observer
[00:05:28] Evgeny Kolechets will continue the topic. The agreement lays
[00:05:31] a common legal framework for electronic trade in
[00:05:35] the Union, ensuring transparency and fairness of regulation for
[00:05:38] businesses, as well as effective protection of consumer rights.
[00:05:51] Since July 2024, a mechanism for
[00:05:54] financing joint cooperation projects
[00:05:57] in industry has been in place. By agreement of the parties, the project has
[00:06:00] a pilot nature with a term of 5 years.
[00:06:04] Two years of practical application showed that this tool has not fully
[00:06:08] worked. This means that there are flaws and gaps in this mechanism
[00:06:11] that prevent its widespread use
[00:06:15] by economic entities in our countries. The starting
[00:06:18] conditions for financing industrial cooperation projects significantly
[00:06:21] affect the degree of possibility of applying this
[00:06:25] stimulating instrument. The Belarusian side also calls on
[00:06:28] partners to give the green light to cooperation in the scientific and technical
[00:06:32] sphere, so that Eurasian cooperation projects are innovative,
[00:06:36] high-tech, and based on digital
[00:06:39] solutions. Belarus considers Algeria to be one of the key
[00:06:42] partners in North Africa and on the African continent as a whole. Recently,
[00:06:46] a number of visits by delegations of both states took place, and
[00:06:49] businessmen from both countries visited various exhibitions in Algeria and
[00:06:52] Belarus. What are the prospects for bilateral relations? Belarus and Algeria
[00:06:56] are traditionally united by friendly relations, mutual respect,
[00:07:00] and similar approaches to fundamental issues of the international agenda. This
[00:07:04] was noted during the visit of the Minister of State, Minister of Foreign
[00:07:07] Affairs for National Communities Abroad and African Affairs of Algeria to Minsk. Belarus
[00:07:11] considers the activation of dialogue as an important stage in the further development
[00:07:14] of relations and the strengthening of the spirit of cooperation that
[00:07:18] was laid by the presidents of the two countries in December of last year.
[00:07:22] I remind you, the heads of our states in December
[00:07:25] 2025 set an ambitious task
[00:07:28] for us to achieve a trade
[00:07:31] turnover of
[00:07:34] 500 million dollars by the end of 2027.
[00:07:37] This is a very ambitious task,
[00:07:41] and today it is designed
[00:08:12] to precisely
[00:08:17] achieve the goal of 500 million dollars
[00:08:20] in our trade turnover and lay the foundation for
[00:08:23] inter-human and inter-state relations in all
[00:08:27] directions. A number
[00:08:31] of initial contracts for the
[00:08:33] supply of Belarusian products to Algeria and Algerian products to
[00:08:37] Belarus were also signed, which are already
[00:08:41] yielding results today.
[00:09:14] a whole series of projects. The Free Economic Zone in Vitebsk is expanding business cooperation with
[00:09:17] Uzbekistan. What joint ventures are planned to be opened and
[00:09:21] what has already been done? The SEZ administration held online negotiations with
[00:09:25] the Directorate for the Management of Industrial Zones of Tashkent. The parties
[00:09:28] discussed prospects for cooperation, export-import potential, and
[00:09:32] the implementation of investment projects. Already next spring, the Vitebsk SEZ
[00:09:36] plans to begin the construction of a new
[00:09:39] woodworking production facility. The main outcome
[00:09:42] of the online meeting was the signing of a roadmap with a large Uzbek enterprise. The foundation for
[00:09:45] new projects was laid in July at the second forum of regions of Belarus and
[00:09:49] Uzbekistan. In Minsk, representatives of a company from
[00:09:52] Tashkent signed
[00:09:56] SEZ. The document provides for the construction of a
[00:10:00] production facility in Vitebsk for household and industrial
[00:10:03] products. The project will be implemented literally
[00:10:06] immediately. The development of a business plan will begin within
[00:10:10] 10 days. The technical specifications are currently
[00:10:13] being prepared, which means it will be woodworking,
[00:10:16] deep woodworking, three-stage, that is, the first
[00:10:20] stage will be boards and drying, the second is the production
[00:10:23] of particleboard for their volume. The third is all the trim,
[00:10:27] doors, windows, baseboards, all joinery, that is,
[00:10:31] these are the plans. The amount of investment being considered is about 20
[00:10:34] million dollars. New construction will take place here on
[00:10:37] the site. Today, 53 investment
[00:10:41] projects are being implemented in the Vitebsk free economic zone. Currently,
[00:10:43] six projects are in development
[00:10:47] at various stages of development. Some have agreements, some
[00:10:49] are preparing a business plan. But we plan to register
[00:10:53] two or three companies in September, where business plans are
[00:10:57] almost ready. These are two projects in Orsha and another project
[00:11:00] in Zhurzhevo, new construction. Today, cooperation
[00:11:03] between residents of the free economic zone and Uzbekistan is strategic
[00:11:07] in nature and includes a wide variety of interaction models, from direct
[00:11:11] export supplies to the creation of full-fledged production facilities.
[00:11:14] Environmental friendliness and flexible adaptation to global market
[00:11:18] demands. The newspaper paper factory in Shklov is opening new
[00:11:21] horizons for itself. What is it about and what new
[00:11:25] products are being manufactured at the enterprise? Thanks to the modernization of production,
[00:11:29] the enterprise quickly responded to global eco-trends and
[00:11:32] switched to closed-cycle production. Instead of primary
[00:11:36] wood, hundreds of tons of waste paper are processed here. The output
[00:11:39] is corrugated cardboard paper in demand on
[00:11:42] foreign markets. Annually, the Shklov plant produces about 70 thousand
[00:11:46] tons of paper. The focus is on niche products, the base for
[00:11:49] cash register receipts that used to be imported from abroad. Today, this
[00:11:53] is the only enterprise in Belarus that produces such
[00:11:57] base paper. Another high-tech product is base paper
[00:12:00] for decorative facing materials.
[00:12:03] This is a product made from our
[00:12:07] paper, from paper, from paper,
[00:12:10] yes. And we
[00:12:13] also mastered not so long ago,
[00:12:16] the production of base paper for decorative facing
[00:12:20] materials, Bofon. Clients from Russia
[00:12:23] ordered from us. The geography of supplies ranges from Russia
[00:12:25] and Uzbekistan to Turkey and
[00:12:43] the economic sphere and beyond on our TV channel's website and social
[00:12:46] networks.
[00:12:51] Belarus is actively developing the production and sale of rapeseed oil, increasing
[00:12:55] it both for the domestic market and for export. This product
[00:12:58] is positioned as a healthy and affordable alternative
[00:13:01] to other vegetable oils, because it is rich in healthy fats and acids that
[00:13:05] contribute to maintaining the health of the cardiovascular
[00:13:08] system. How can rapeseed oil affect the daily
[00:13:12] life and habits of consumers? Are there enough production
[00:13:15] capacities, at what level is the cultivation of oilseed
[00:13:19] crops in the country today? We will talk about this today with the guest of the studio, the head
[00:13:23] of the department for coordination of supplies to the domestic market, foreign trade
[00:13:26] activities of the Belgospischeprom concern,
[00:13:33] grocery store in Belarus, there is always rapeseed oil on the shelves.
[00:13:36] This is all thanks to the initiative of our antitrust
[00:13:40] a measure needed, why should rapeseed oil have
[00:13:44] become an essential product? In fact, you
[00:13:47] are right, rapeseed oil is now widely represented in trade,
[00:13:50] if, for example, before there was one or two names, now
[00:13:53] it is three or four. And more with such an initiative to
[00:13:57] amend the resolution of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation, the
[00:14:01] Belgospischeprom concern came forward, and the resolution was about the list
[00:14:04] of goods, and we initiated an increase in the representation of rapeseed
[00:14:08] oil in our retail chains so that
[00:14:11] people would have the opportunity to freely purchase
[00:14:14] rapeseed oil and not just one,
[00:14:17] for example, name, but various ones, because
[00:14:21] in fact, the assortment of rapeseed oil is very wide, and
[00:14:24] what kind? For example, there is rapeseed oil with the addition of Provencal
[00:14:28] herbs, it is ideal for
[00:14:31] rapeseed oil enriched additionally
[00:14:34] with vitamins, also for those who lead a healthy lifestyle,
[00:14:38] well, the production of rapeseed oil itself is very
[00:14:40] high-tech, a complex process, many nuances, many
[00:14:44] stages, and as far as I know, there are four enterprises in Belarus that produce
[00:14:48] food-grade rapeseed oil. Are there enough production capacities? How will we
[00:14:52] modernize, or is modernization already underway? Let's talk about
[00:15:25] it. which will be used in the production of confectionery fats,
[00:15:29] confectionery fats, as we understand, are of course very much in demand in our
[00:15:32] confectionery industry, that is, it is such a complex
[00:15:35] line, but they are now...
[00:16:37] we hold various press conferences, when we inform
[00:16:41] the population about the benefits of rapeseed oil, very
[00:16:45] often at these press conferences,
[00:16:47] selectors speak, who tell how far they have
[00:16:51] come, how the scale of
[00:16:55] rapeseed varieties is expanding, and the areas
[00:16:58] sown with rapeseed are increasing, so they are certainly
[00:17:02] doing great, they are not standing still, they are implementing new technologies,
[00:17:04] so they are doing great, that's why, probably, rapeseed is called
[00:17:08] Belarusian black gold. If
[00:17:11] we talk about the popularization of rapeseed oil, in 2025 the "Colleagues by Omega" project was launched,
[00:17:14] a large-scale campaign to promote rapeseed oil among Belarusians.
[00:17:18] Is this campaign successful, what can you say? There is success,
[00:17:21] of course, but not only
[00:17:25] thanks to our promotion, "Colleagues by Omega", because
[00:17:28] the Belgospischeprom concern has been actively working
[00:17:31] for 5 years to bring to
[00:17:35] the public the benefits of rapeseed oil. And as you
[00:17:38] have already said, together with the Ministry
[00:17:42] of Antimonopoly Regulation, the concern is holding a promotion, "Colleagues by
[00:17:45] Omega", in 2025 we held it, in
[00:17:48] early 2026, now in September-October
[00:17:51] the second stage will start, and what is characteristic, I
[00:17:55] will not reveal all the secrets now, but the second stage
[00:17:58] will be more focused on our young
[00:18:00] Belarusians, there will be very bright social advertising, there will be
[00:18:04] various promotions in retail chains.
[00:18:28] In fact, there is now such a trend for Belarusians to adhere to a healthy lifestyle as much as possible, and
[00:18:32] rapeseed oil is ideal for
[00:18:35] supporting healthy nutrition. Because, firstly,
[00:18:38] it is very useful in terms of a large
[00:18:41] amount of unsaturated fatty acids, such as
[00:18:44] omega-6, omega-4, also many
[00:18:47] vitamins, trace elements. Another feature of rapeseed
[00:18:51] oil is that it does not foam, it does not burn during
[00:18:55] frying and does not release carcinogens at
[00:18:58] temperatures up to 220 degrees Celsius.
[00:19:00] It is also ideal for dressing salads, for
[00:19:04] deep frying. Many housewives now use it for
[00:19:08] winter preparations. This is what you need: one oil for all occasions.
[00:19:17] per day. Therefore, we
[00:19:21] think that thanks to the set of measures
[00:19:24] approved by the government in 2025,
[00:19:26] and this set of measures was developed for implementation until
[00:19:30] 2030, we see that by
[00:19:33] 2030, every Belarusian's table will have
[00:19:37] by the government, rapeseed oil, because thanks to this
[00:19:39] set of measures, which, as I said, was approved
[00:19:44] it allows us to replace sunflower
[00:19:47] oil with rapeseed oil in technological maps, in catering establishments, this
[00:19:51] includes school cafeterias, and restaurants and cafes,
[00:19:55] it also allows to change
[00:19:57] a little
[00:19:59] the culture of consuming rapeseed oil itself, that is, it is becoming more popular among
[00:20:03] athletes, among servicemen,
[00:20:06] among rescuers. That is precisely in their diet, because
[00:20:09] in fact, its benefit is unique. It is also
[00:20:13] important to note how important
[00:20:16] rapeseed oil is for our enterprises. For example, Lida
[00:20:20] Food Concentrates, they have now developed a new recipe for
[00:20:24] mashed potatoes and soup that does not require cooking.
[00:20:28] They changed the recipe using Arabian oil. For example,
[00:20:31] the confectionery industry, the Spartak confectionery factory, their famous
[00:20:35] cookie, "Kroshka-Osminozhka" (Octopus Crumb).
[00:20:39] They also replaced rapeseed oil in their recipe,
[00:20:43] added it there, like "Kroshka-Osminozhka" cookies, they are suitable for small children for preschool and school
[00:20:46] meals. In general, we are trying to get the maximum out of rapeseed oil.
[00:21:20] only after that do we have free volumes for export.
[00:21:23] Currently, the geography of supplies is very wide. It is important
[00:21:27] to note that enterprises prioritize the diversification
[00:21:31] of export markets, so we are already present on many continents,
[00:21:34] because, as is well known, Belarusian products are a sign
[00:21:37] of quality. Yes, yes, that's right. Anastasia Yuryevna, I thank you for
[00:21:41] the conversation. It was very interesting and, most importantly, useful. I remind you that
[00:21:44] Anastasia Skorobogatova, Head of the Department for Coordination of Supplies to the Domestic Market and Foreign Trade Activities of the Belgospischeprom Concern, answered the questions
[00:21:47] of the "Events" program.

[00:23:23] A view from Minsk on what is happening in the world. The most notable
[00:23:27] events and topics that are being discussed. Our activity
[00:23:30] is north, south, west, east, a long arc,
[00:23:33] Asia, Africa, well, a very diverse picture. And everywhere we
[00:23:37] are looking for that very component where our capabilities coincide with
[00:23:40] the interests, the interest on the part
[00:23:43] of our partners. They want to cooperate with us because we are good, easily
[00:23:46] predictable, we are consistent, we are honest.
[00:24:20] cooperation. 24 Belarusian enterprises received the government
[00:24:23] award for achievements in the field of quality. Belarusian
[00:24:27] manufacturers are expanding their presence in the Georgian market. In Tbilisi,
[00:24:30] the tenth store of one of the Belmart retail chains opened. The head
[00:24:34] of Medbelarus, Maxim Rozhenkov, visited Mozambique.
[00:24:38] This country, with a population of almost forty million and access to the Indian
[00:24:41] Ocean, is extremely interested in Belarusian technologies.

[00:25:05] This is the Events program, and we continue: joint
[00:25:08] anti-terrorist operations in an urban environment. Belarus
[00:25:12] and China are conducting a joint exercise "Swift Eagle
[00:25:15] 2026". The official representative of the Ministry
[00:25:18] of Defense of the People's Republic of China, Chen Xi, emphasized that the maneuvers are taking place in
[00:25:21] Hubei province. Great attention will be paid to practicing
[00:25:25] reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, capturing and holding key
[00:25:29] facilities. Chinese and Belarusian military personnel will also
[00:25:32] conduct operations to clear the territory and subsequently
[00:25:35] hold it at the training grounds. The exercises will focus on
[00:25:39] topics such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, capturing
[00:25:42] and defending facilities, as well as clearing and securing positions.
[00:25:46] The fourth joint exercise in Syria Shenin helped.

[00:27:39] goggles and the Koryak women's cutting knife. The collection
[00:27:42] was gathered for over 40 years to preserve the cultural heritage
[00:27:46] of the northern peoples. When it happened that my husband and I
[00:27:50] left Kamchatka, I missed it. When I
[00:27:52] come, work, and start putting together an exhibition, I pick
[00:27:56] up these exhibits, I go to the girls,
[00:28:00] to the museum staff, "Smell this, it smells like Kamchatka, it smells like a
[00:28:04] Kamchatka home, with fur,
[00:28:08] clothes, reindeer herders really
[00:28:12] need their eyes to be protected from
[00:28:15] snow blindness. Look, here are some made of
[00:28:18] bone, some made of wood, and each
[00:28:21] one is different.
[00:30:24] the world order has begun. This process is not for one day or one year.
[00:30:28] The task of the Commander-in-Chief, Alexander
[00:30:30] Lukashenka, is to bring his country into this process as strong
[00:30:34] as possible, to stand firm and lead it into the new geopolitical structure
[00:30:38] of the planet, at least not weaker. And for a long time, the main goal of Belarus
[00:30:42] and its president has been to prevent war in his country. With
[00:30:46] this task, Alexander Grigoryevich copes
[00:30:49] admirably. Alexander Lukashenka, as a leader in
[00:30:52] economics, is engaged in creating strategic
[00:30:55] opportunities, and the rest of the vertical of power, the government, the embassy,
[00:30:59] should take advantage of them. from Alexander Grigoryevich to

[00:34:04] This is a backbone agricultural enterprise for the region. It accounts for
[00:34:08] approximately a third of the production in the agricultural sector of the region. The discussion
[00:34:12] turned to the acquisition of problematic lands.
[00:35:15] didn't wrap it in film, if it's dry, he brought
[00:35:18] it as he does, I saw, his straw is even
[00:35:21] covered,
[00:35:25] so please pass this on so that we in the government
[00:35:29] take it under control, we need to mow floodplains everywhere, we
[00:35:32] are losing a huge amount of land, and there, well,
[00:35:36] he's right, it's not free feed, but cheap, of course, and
[00:35:40] especially in the forest, I see some mowing, I
[00:35:44] flew straight through the... floodplain, some mow, and some don't, and
[00:35:47] why? Therefore, under the responsibility of the chairmen
[00:35:51] of the district executive committees, they will deal with the leaders,
[00:35:54] this is his part, this is his, his, his, we need to mow
[00:35:58] the floodplain. Belarusian-Chinese cooperation with
[00:36:01] an emphasis on quality and results, an example, the worldwide
[00:36:04] Chinese Bridge language competition. Annually, it unites
[00:36:08] thousands of connoisseurs of Chinese culture and traditions from all over
[00:36:11] Belarus. A graduate of BelSU and Languages
[00:36:15] won the national stage of the competition. Belarus and
[00:36:19] China are strengthening cooperation between universities,
[00:36:23] additional impetus educational conferences,
[00:36:26] forums and festivals. The best representatives get
[00:36:29] the opportunity to go on
[00:37:29] In the new academic year, significant steps have been taken in Belarus in
[00:37:33] all directions, curricula have been updated, requirements
[00:37:37] for school uniforms have been strengthened, and the nutrition system
[00:37:39] has been revised. By September 1, 27
[00:37:43] textbooks and manuals have been reissued. Requirements for printing have become
[00:37:46] stricter: special paper that reduces eye
[00:37:50] strain, a light integral binding. Serious changes
[00:37:54] have affected the school curriculum.
[00:38:27] The most important thing, I believe, is exercises for students, artificial
[00:38:30] intelligence technologies will be applied, naturally in
[00:38:34] all grades, starting from
[00:38:37] the sixth, but there will be a slightly different specificity, in the sixth and seventh
[00:38:41] grades, let's say, it will be more about familiarization with how
[00:38:45] one can use generated images
[00:38:48] or text, in the eighth grade we will study the basics
[00:38:51] of prompting, students will sit down themselves,
[00:38:55] let's say, and try to do this, right? In the ninth grade
[00:38:58] artificial intelligence is being introduced into modeling. Another
[00:39:02] important topic is school nutrition. From September 1, an updated
[00:39:06] state standard comes into force. In
[00:39:10] Belarus, the number of groups in kindergartens for
[00:39:13] children under 2 years old is increasing. At the beginning of the academic year, their number
[00:39:16] will grow to 600 across the country. Groups will work not
[00:39:20] only in short-day mode, but also up to 12:00
[00:39:24] stay. The goal is to create all conditions for work.
[00:40:28] The service will appear in 2027.
[00:40:30] For now, in the Grodno region, it will naturally undergo
[00:40:34] approbation, right, certain conclusions will be drawn, some
[00:40:37] adjustments will be made for the wind, including technical ones, further
[00:40:41] scaling of this service will
[00:40:44] be provided to the entire country. In the
[00:40:47] Grodno region, the export of tourist services in
[00:40:50] 2026 has already exceeded last year's figure by
[00:40:54] 42%. More than 80%.
