00:02:00increased exports, launch of direct air service, Belarus and Saudi
00:02:03Arabia are reaching a fundamentally new level of economic
00:02:06cooperation. The first express route connected Belarus and
00:02:10Uzbekistan. The Slavic Caravan project will speed up freight delivery
00:02:13by rail. Degustation, Bakers' competition, tractor
00:02:17show. Grodno region invites you to the Bread Festival. What is the recipe
00:02:21for that very Batkov's bun, what is the secret of Karavaifest's
00:02:24popularity? Expert's opinion. A print run of
00:02:272.0 copies was presented at the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.
00:02:44Belarus and Saudi Arabia are building a new strategy
00:02:47for cooperation. Since the beginning of the year, trade turnover between the countries has grown several
00:02:51times. The reason for a closer dialogue was the recent meeting of
00:02:54the Belarusian-Saudi business council in Minsk. The League of Arab
00:02:58States highly appreciates.
00:03:30we are engaged, there is interest, our products are, unfortunately,
00:03:33not so widely represented today, we still need to work on
00:03:37positioning, but I am sure that the basis
00:03:40is the quality of Belarusian products, they will play their role, but
00:03:44positioning, this is
00:03:47a message for our manufacturers, exporters, it
00:03:50must be refined. The agenda also includes
00:03:53the launch of direct air service, this will make contacts between the two countries
00:03:57even more efficient and intense.
00:04:00The first through freight train, the Slavic Caravan, departed last week
00:04:04from Orsha to Uzbekistan. In sixty wagons, products of
00:04:07woodworking, food cargo. The train followed the
00:04:11route Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. It will run at
00:04:15the initial stage twice a month for the consolidation of wagons,
00:04:18the station Orsha-Vostochnaya was chosen. Cargo from all regions of
00:04:22Belarus comes here. In the future, it is planned to expand the range of goods
00:04:25to include wagons with containers delivered by
00:04:28road transport. This will allow to take advantage of all
00:04:32the benefits of multimodal transportation. We need to
00:04:36bring the volume of mutual
00:04:40trade to 2
00:04:42billion dollars by 2030. This
00:04:45indicates that we have the political will of the leaders of the two
00:04:49countries, we have large volumes,
00:04:53and most importantly, the desire of our entrepreneurs to work
00:04:56together, and therefore we have the most important product.
00:05:13On the way back, of course, we will be waiting for
00:05:17the Eastern Caravan to arrive here, a truly through route,
00:05:20because in the supply of our goods, just like
00:05:23Uzbek goods, the cost and delivery times
00:05:26of goods are of great importance. On this
00:05:30example, I can give a number of figures, that the delivery
00:05:34of a twenty-ton container costs at least one and a half
00:05:37times cheaper than delivery by road
00:05:40transport. The second
00:05:42train of this type has already been formed. The project is being implemented to develop high-level decisions
00:05:46to increase supplies of Belarusian products
00:05:50of mechanical engineering, woodworking, and agriculture
00:05:53to the Uzbek market. And in continuation of the topic of economic
00:05:57cooperation between Belarus and Uzbekistan. Today, both
00:06:00states are actively working to expand cooperation in the field of
00:06:03production, as well as interaction between large and medium-sized
00:06:06businesses. In particular, the parties intend to bring the trade turnover to
00:06:102 billion dollars in the set direction, productive
00:06:14work is underway. Representatives of business circles of Uzbekistan visited
00:06:17the Grodno Invest free economic zone. Special attention is paid to export
00:06:21opportunities and prospects for industrial cooperation. Our
00:06:24resident enterprises of the FEZ export
00:06:28timber, sawn timber.
00:06:31Our Belarusian furniture
00:06:35of resident enterprises is in demand,
00:06:38we export yarn, knitted fabric.
00:06:42Our task today, as with Grodno Invest, was
00:06:45to show, to present free
00:06:49sites on the territory of the FEZ,
00:06:53into which our Uzbek partners could
00:06:56freely invest, we also
00:06:59wanted to present residents for
00:07:02the possible creation of contract production, dealership,
00:07:06and once again assure the Uzbek
00:07:09side of our reliable and profitable
00:07:13cooperation. Grodno Invest is already implementing a project with
00:07:16Uzbek capital, and the volume of mutual trade is also growing. Only for
00:07:19January-May 2026, the trade turnover of FEZ residents with
00:07:23this Central Asian country amounted to about 20 million
00:07:27dollars. Belarus and the Kaluga region of Russia signed a plan
00:07:30of measures for cooperation in trade, economic,
00:07:33scientific, technical, and cultural cooperation. The main
00:07:36economic goal is to achieve a trade turnover of 1 billion
00:07:39dollars. Steps have been approved that will allow overcoming this
00:07:43barrier, the parties are confident, agreements have been formalized in the field of supply
00:07:46of agricultural machinery, a powerful impetus is given to cooperation in
00:07:49the agricultural sector, including the construction of a turnkey dairy farm.
00:07:53Investment projects will be implemented in the field of agro-drone production,
00:07:56technologies will allow to increase yields in agriculture.
00:08:00Belarusian builders have been successfully building residential blocks,
00:08:03modern schools, and kindergartens in the Kaluga region for many years.
00:08:06Cooperation in this direction will continue.
00:08:10The construction sector has come to the Kaluga region seriously
00:08:13and for a long time. The facilities that we are completing this
00:08:17year, we have planned to work on other sites,
00:08:20to work on the construction of residential
00:08:23buildings, the emphasis will be on the development of rural areas,
00:08:26the construction of certain types of settlements
00:08:30for residents of the rural
00:08:33agglomeration has been planned, the supply of
00:08:36building structures and materials has been planned, one billion
00:08:39dollars is not far off, this is our guideline for... students
00:08:42from Belarus, and of course, we are always ready, within the framework of our educational
00:08:57exchange, to ensure that our students are provided with such opportunities,
00:09:00especially since there are many areas of cooperation,
00:09:04everything related to agriculture, Belarus, of course,
00:09:07has great expertise in this area, we are ready, of course, to consider
00:09:11this issue. The parties intend to use the full potential for
00:09:14increasing trade turnover, with an emphasis on long-term partnerships and
00:09:18economic effect. A new project of the Belarusian
00:09:21National Biotechnology Corporation in the Stolbtsy district.
00:09:25The enterprise for growing rainbow trout is designed to replace
00:09:28imported delicacies on our shelves and at the same time become
00:09:32a testing ground for domestic
00:09:34compound feeds. The first pool has 800 cubic meters of water
00:09:38and thousands of fry. Ambitious plan: by the end of the year - 30 tons
00:09:41of live trout. We
00:09:44feed five times a day,
00:09:47we calculate the amount of feed needed for feeding
00:09:51so that the fish gains weight, we are also
00:09:55studying water indicators, as far as
00:09:58biochemical processes in it are concerned, these are
00:10:01acidity, ammonia, ammonium, nitrates, nitrites on excretion,
00:10:05we maintain the norm so that they do not exceed their indicators so that it
00:10:09feels good, our corporation...
00:10:55not only on the website of our TV channel but also on social
00:10:58networks.
00:11:03Svisloch will become the real bread capital of Belarus on August 15th. The town in the Grodno
00:11:06region will host the Karavay-fest, Batkov's Bun. The organizers invite all Belarusians and
00:11:10guests from abroad to join
00:11:13the bright and original holiday. What will
00:11:16surprise and delight the audience this
00:11:19year? Olga Bogdanovich, the chief
00:11:22director, is on the line with the studio.
00:11:34It managed to win popular love and become popular, tell us about the history of its creation. Well,
00:11:37in fact, 5 years ago, the
00:11:41Karavay-fest Batkov's Bun appeared
00:11:43on the holiday map not only of the Grodno region, but also of the Republic
00:11:47of Belarus as a whole. I'll tell you
00:11:50honestly, I remember today's phone call when
00:11:53the chairman of the Svisloch Executive Committee was a wonderful person,
00:11:56Aleksandrovich Versotsky, who loves
00:12:00creative people very much, and is one himself, so
00:12:04he calls on the phone and says: "I watched the news, I watched, the head of state visited
00:12:07our bakery, he tasted the bread, and
00:12:10after that, after the news came out, the residents of Svisloch
00:12:14came to the store and asked: give
00:12:16us the bun that Batka
00:12:20tasted." And so Alexandrich tells this story,
00:12:23says: "This is such an occasion, this
00:12:27is such a wonderful story that could be
00:12:30highlighted in the holidays, what do you think, Karavay Fest?" The form
00:12:33came very quickly, bread, Karavay-fest,
00:12:37so, of course, I think in this direction, we talked to him, he says: "Great, we have the form, now let's
00:12:40come up with a name." Right then, during the phone conversation, we started spinning various
00:12:44names and decided that, of course, Karavay
00:12:48Fest should be called nothing else but Batkov's
00:12:51Bun. That's what
00:12:54he called it. Or Svisloch residents, who watched the news and
00:12:58who wanted to try one of the most delicious breads
00:13:01in the country, that's why Karavayfest was born, the very first one,
00:13:05it started with us - in principle, as it is traditionally now in
00:13:09August, we presented many
00:13:12venues that we are leaving
00:13:15and preserving today, I hope, in the future in the history of the festival they will also remain
00:13:19preserved, because the festival was initially created
00:13:23as a traditional one, we would like people who learned about
00:13:26it from the news, from the Internet, from their friends,
00:13:29neighbors, and who have never been to it, to come to the same
00:13:33festival that someone saw or
00:13:36covered in the news the previous year,
00:13:40well, thank God, this year is a jubilee
00:13:43year, a mini-jubilee, the fifth Karavay-fest, the republican
00:13:47Karavay-fest, Batkov bun. And what
00:13:50is the secret of the recipe for that very Batkov's bun, and can
00:13:54Belarusians or even guests from abroad bake it at home?
00:13:57I will tell you about the recipe of Karavay-fest Batkov's
00:14:00bun as a festival later, and about the Batkov's
00:14:04bun itself, that is, a bakery product,
00:14:07it is currently kept in a small secret, it belongs
00:14:11to the bakery, it belongs to the enterprise that
00:14:14maintains this very bakery, a state
00:14:17enterprise, to repeat, well,
00:14:21hardly, in fact, although producers and bakers
00:14:25share the secret that the recipe came from the Soviet
00:14:28Union, that it is a braided loaf that has been
00:14:31loved by the population of the Republic of Belarus for a very long time,
00:14:35by grown-up children, and by children
00:14:38today, but at the festival you can
00:14:42try to braid it, because Batkov's bun
00:14:44has an unusual, let's say,
00:14:48a certain shape, a shape that is braided into
00:14:52a pigtail, at our festival we have such
00:14:55an exhibition master class, which we came up with at the very first festival,
00:14:59changed it a little for the second and third, and of course
00:15:02we are keeping it for the fifth, so at this master class you can
00:15:06try to learn how to braid that very
00:15:09Batkov's bun, choose your own recipe for delicious
00:15:13dough, come home, braid
00:15:16and bake, well, at least the shape of this
00:15:19very bun, if you repeat it, will remind you,
00:15:22probably, of the taste of a real Batko.
00:15:37What will you surprise participants and guests with this
00:15:40year? Yes, of course, the fifth
00:15:44festival, although we declare it as a traditional
00:15:47festival, a festival in which we would very much like to preserve the developments we have already
00:15:51come up with, but the surprises will continue, and first of all,
00:15:54it's a jubilee, the fifth, secondly, it was this year that we became
00:15:57a republican festival, received such a high
00:16:01title, such high quality, and of course, responsibility to
00:16:04our viewers, we are expanding the territory.
00:16:23this year we are installing a new stage in the city park of Svisloch,
00:16:27thus expanding the territory of our
00:16:30festival, among the novelties we can also
00:16:34mention that the tractor itself will change, it will become more.
00:16:47from the wonderful Voronovskaya tractor driver
00:16:50woman, we hope we will be able to implement this
00:16:53idea, we will also have new
00:16:56artists who have not come to the festival before, guests
00:17:00of the festival, come, you will learn everything, in principle, you can already find
00:17:03the program online, and
00:17:06the new stage will delight with new concert programs,
00:17:10cover bands, a play that we will show
00:17:13in the open air, be sure to come, be sure
00:17:16to see it, and of course, be surprised.
00:17:202026 is the year of the Belarusian woman, surely
00:17:23the theme will be reflected at the bread festival. Yes,
00:17:26indeed, 2026 is the year
00:17:29of the Belarusian woman, we decided to use
00:17:33this wonderful opportunity at the jubilee festival
00:17:36and dedicated all
00:17:38the festival venues to the Belarusian woman. Before we had a farmer show, this
00:17:42year we are doing a hostess show. We have such
00:17:45a wonderful element dedicated to Belarusian folklore, dedicated
00:17:49to Belarusian cuisine and Belarusian everyday life. This year
00:17:52it will acquire such its female sound.
00:17:56The opening will be completely dedicated to the woman
00:17:59reaper, the woman baker, the women whose hands
00:18:03create that very Batkov's
00:18:05bun. it will remain in our
00:18:09retro-singing format, it's traditional,
00:18:12but the whole concert will be dedicated to women, about women for
00:18:15women, of course, with our Batkovsky,
00:18:19Batkovo-Bulkovsky flavor, also
00:18:22the Tractor Bulka show, what I said, this year
00:18:25we did not collect a competitive program among women, we really
00:18:29wanted to, well, it's not surprising, the profession is still
00:18:32male, but we, the organizers, are really looking forward
00:18:35to the demonstration performances from the Voronovskaya
00:18:38tractor driver. Well, by the way, speaking of novelties, returning to the
00:18:41previous question, we can say that we are in for
00:18:44surprises from Grodno Khleb Prom, because
00:18:48last year they made a five-meter Batkov's bun,
00:18:51they are still intriguing and not revealing the secret of what will be on
00:18:55their site this year, but I think that this year they
00:18:59will also surprise us, and of course, the competition of bread
00:19:02masterpieces, some of which, by the way, are located in the Palace
00:19:05of Independence of our country. So, the competition of bread masterpieces
00:19:09is annually dedicated to some theme, we started with architecture,
00:19:13these were amazing sculptures, I would even
00:19:16say, sculptural
00:19:18sculptures of churches, the Grodno Regional Drama Theater,
00:19:22castles. This year we dedicate it to women, this
00:19:25is much more difficult, we invited our bakers and culinary specialists
00:19:29to create either portrait works on
00:19:31bread or sculptural works dedicated to the Belarusian
00:19:35woman, who will it be?
00:20:07This year, other regions are joining, both Minsk, Mogilev, and
00:20:11Vitebsk. Grodno region is represented in all its glory, among
00:20:15foreigners, as a rule, these are guests. And what is pleasant to learn,
00:20:18when you prepare for this festival on a beautiful August
00:20:22day, annually, you always meet people, you hear
00:20:25whispers, you deliberately find out
00:20:29where they came from, we are pleased with the
00:20:31geography: the Russian Federation, the near
00:20:34abroad, all of them come.
00:20:38to Batkov's bun to see, to participate in this festival, because
00:20:42we have a festival of festivities, where you can directly become
00:20:46a participant in this event, so we expect many
00:20:49guests. Small Svisloch, located in
00:20:52a picturesque corner near Belovezhskaya Pushcha, is, of course,
00:20:56ready to cordially welcome everyone and
00:20:59celebrate from 2 PM to 2 AM,
00:21:02meeting guests, come yourselves, what
00:21:06conditions are created for those wishing to visit the festival, how to get
00:21:09guests there? You can get to Svisloch by
00:21:13public transport, generally there is transport from Grodno, you can get there through
00:21:17Volkovysk, there is such a point on the map of
00:21:21the Grodno region, but Svisloch itself turns into a large,
00:21:24large playing
00:21:28field, a concert
00:21:31stage on this day, Saturday, so the organizers
00:21:34have already provided a scheme of
00:21:38intercepting parking lots, whoever comes by their own transport,
00:21:41parks it, and literally 7-10 minutes, and we are already
00:21:45in the city center, already enjoying the holiday, in
00:21:48general there is intercity public transport,
00:21:51which, well, if we go far, it's better
00:21:55to get to Grodno, you can, I'll mention again, get to
00:21:58Volkovysk, and then get to Svisloch by
00:22:01public transport, but this year, as
00:22:05part of the logistics innovations, the organizers
00:22:08have planned a tent
00:22:11camp, I suggest using this service,
00:22:14why, because then you can come
00:22:17the day before, settle in,
00:22:20boldly celebrate on Saturday, and you can also
00:22:23stay celebrating until 2 AM, some guests celebrate

00:22:55This is the program of events and we continue. A print run of
00:22:58200 copies was presented at the Belarusian Foreign Ministry for the English-language
00:23:02edition of the book "Our President". The new edition was presented
00:23:05to the heads of diplomatic missions and consular
00:23:09institutions of the country. The English-language edition of the book should become

00:24:21years created that very Republic of Belarus,
00:24:24which we are now proud of, which we are promoting on
00:24:28the external circuit. The world will be able to see the edition of the book "Our
00:24:31President" in other languages, at present, proposals are being collected
00:24:35for its choice:
00:24:38picturesque nature, sincere emotions and new impressions for young
00:24:42travelers. A large delegation of children from Laos and Vietnam
00:24:46arrived for a holiday in Belarus at the invitation of President Alexander Lukashenka.
00:24:50The National Children's Educational and Health
00:24:53Center "Zubryonok" on the shore of Naroch became a platform for studying Belarusian
00:24:56traditions and culture, also in the program: sports, creativity, excursions
00:25:00and health improvement. My first impression of Belarus is
00:25:04exclusively positive, I came here for the first time, I
00:25:07really like it here, I am surprised at how clean the air and
00:25:11green the forests are. Belarusian children are very friendly, I have
00:25:15already made friends with them, they are very active, kind,
00:25:18easily make contact. Also at the camp there are interesting sports
00:25:22games and competitions, such events unite
00:25:25us. This year we are hosting children from
00:25:2810 countries, already delegations from Uzbekistan,
00:25:32Kyrgyzstan, from Algeria, Egypt, India
00:25:36and Zimbabwe have rested with us, now
00:25:39delegations from Vietnam, Myanmar and
00:25:42Laos are undergoing rehabilitation. In August,
00:25:46we are waiting for a large delegation from the Chinese People's Republic.

00:26:00in Belarus. with new knowledge and experience
00:26:04into the Arctic, a Belarusian high school student is preparing for an expedition to
00:26:07the North Pole. Fifteen-year-old Tikhan Kornienko from Vitebsk is among
00:26:11the winners of the international scientific and educational project
00:26:15"Icebreaker of Knowledge". About 500 schoolchildren aged 14 to
00:26:1816 years from more than 20 countries competed for participation.
00:26:21To learn how the world's only nuclear icebreaker fleet works, to see the amazing
00:26:25nature of the Arctic, unique opportunities that the project "Icebreaker
00:26:28of Knowledge" opens for schoolchildren. To take advantage of this rare
00:26:32chance, schoolchildren made considerable efforts. A scientific
00:26:36quiz, a series of webinars from Rosatom experts,
00:26:39a competition of creative works. A rich program awaits the children on board
00:26:43the icebreaker. I learned about this project when I was delegated
00:26:46to the international atomic week in
00:26:49Moscow. The interest was not only in the place where the expedition takes place, but also
00:26:53in the vessel itself. This is the nuclear icebreaker "50 Years of Victory",
00:26:56throughout the entire expedition, the agenda will be about
00:26:59the peaceful atom with specialists from the Murmansk
00:27:03Arctic University, we will launch
00:27:05a stratospheric platform that will help
00:27:09conduct environmental monitoring, live broadcasts from the North Pole, and then provide
00:27:12internet access there. The ten-day expedition starts
00:27:16in early August, a journey to the top of the planet will unite more
00:27:20than twenty children from different parts of the world. And
00:27:23this information will be of interest to guests of the Belarusian capital who
00:27:26come to Minsk in their own cars or use carsharing
00:27:30services. Parking.
00:27:33In the capital, according to the rules, you should not forget to go to a special application and pay for
00:27:36a parking ticket. The new mobile complex for car control
00:27:40successfully passed a test drive and now identifies violators online.
00:27:43A special scanner on board the control car allows
00:27:47to instantly check the car's status by its license plate. If there is no payment,
00:27:51then after 15 minutes the car owner automatically gets
00:27:54on the list of debtors and after a few days receives the so-called
00:27:57"letter of happiness". Basically,
00:28:00well, in the main mass, they will certainly be
00:28:02in the city center, within the first and second transport ring, precisely in order to
00:28:06reduce this transport load, to redistribute people, including
00:28:10to the use of public transport, so that those
00:28:13most demanded areas, where everyone would like to park their car,
00:28:17preferably for the whole day. There will also be new hubs for car parking
00:28:21at the exits from Minsk, one of them is being built near the Slutsk
00:28:25highway, several such facilities are located near the Malinovka metro station,
00:28:28Borisovsky tract and Mogilevskaya. In total,
00:28:31an analysis of the main events of this week in the information and analytical
00:28:35program "Main Air", all projects of our
00:28:38The TV channel's website is online, as well as on social media. I will
00:28:41say goodbye to you now. All the best.
00:29:14Pripyatsky National Park is unique in terms of natural
00:29:17biodiversity in the south of Belarus, where unique
00:29:21natural bio-complexes and habitats of rare
00:29:24animals on a European scale have been preserved
00:29:27to this day. The National
00:29:30Park is located in the Pripyat River valley, in the center of the Polesie
00:29:33lowland. After the glacier retreated, the Pripyat
00:29:36Polesie was a huge water basin,
00:29:40filled with melted glacial waters, which
00:29:43later became known as "Pripyat Sea." During
00:29:47the Middle Ages, numerous Polesie swamps
00:29:50were designated as the Gyrodotovo Sea.
00:29:53Gradually, as the reservoir became shallower, extensive
00:29:56peat bogs formed in its place, some of which
00:30:00have survived to this day.
00:30:03The history of the formation of the Pripyat National Park began in the
00:30:071920s and 1930s of the 20th century, when it was
00:30:10proposed to create a protected area in Polesie, based on the largest
00:30:14Almansky bog massif in Europe.
00:30:17In June 1969,
00:30:20the Pripyatsky State Landscape and Hydrological Reserve was organized,
00:30:24which in 1996
00:30:27was transformed into the Pripyatsky National Park. In
00:30:311995, an experimental forestry and hunting
00:30:34farm, Lyaskovich, appeared in the reserve, and
00:30:38in 1998, the first Nature Museum
00:30:41in Belarus opened in the park. The territorial
00:30:44National Park is located within Belarusian Polesie, in the
00:30:48interfluve of the Pripyat, Stviga and Ubort rivers.
00:30:51Administratively, the park is located on the territory of
00:30:55Zhitkovichi, Lelchitsy and Petrikov districts
00:30:58of Gomel region, with its administrative center in the agro-town
00:31:02Lyaskovich. Pripyatsky National Park impresses with its
00:31:06boundless and virtually untouched expanses of
00:31:09swampy areas,
00:31:11188. Of which. about
00:31:1535% is occupied by a protected
00:31:18zone. This region is called Belarusian
00:31:21Amazonia, because it is here that vast
00:31:25swamp massifs, wide floodplains of the Pripyat River and its
00:31:28tributaries, oak groves and broad-leaved forests
00:31:32are located, which are unique in their structure and
00:31:35floristic composition for the entire
00:31:37Eastern European Plain. Scientists
00:31:41believe that the National Park is a hydrologically
00:31:45closed area. On its territory, there are about
00:31:4838 species of fish. The flora
00:31:51of the National Park includes more than a thousand species of higher
00:31:54plants, of which 47 are listed in the Red
00:31:57Book of the Republic of Belarus. The fauna
00:32:00of the National Park is rich and diverse, characterized by
00:32:04a significant number of rare species that are found nowhere else
00:32:07in Belarus. Among large ungulates,
00:32:11moose, wild boar, roe deer are numerous.
00:32:13Predators are widespread: lynx, wolf, fox, polecat,
00:32:17weasel, forest marten. The re-acclimatization
00:32:20of the European bison is successfully carried out in the park,
00:32:24as well as the raccoon dog, and muskrat. Pripyatsky National Park
00:32:28has international status as a key ornithological
00:32:32territory. Here live 256 species
00:32:35of birds, which is 79%
00:32:39of the avifauna of the entire country. Of these,
00:32:4165 species are listed in the Red Book of Belarus.
00:32:45The Pripyat floodplain is the largest migratory route for migratory
00:32:49birds in Europe. Today, Pripyatsky National Park
00:32:52is one of the most popular tourist
00:32:55attractions in Belarus. Wildlife
00:32:58enthusiasts come here for exciting
00:33:01photo safaris, because here you can see a truly
00:33:04impressive number of animals in their natural
00:33:07habitat, and also admire
00:33:11the beauty of untouched nature.
00:33:24Fertile land in careful
00:33:27hands is our main
00:33:31wealth, when you want to
00:33:35share the joy of what you have achieved,
00:33:37create and develop.
00:33:43ствараць і развівацца.
00:34:15It's always warm here with heartfelt moments and
00:34:19родных glances.
00:34:22Together at one
00:34:23table.
00:34:27Belarus 24 - what unites us.
00:34:44Development. regions, investment in production, increasing the level and quality
00:34:48of life of rural residents. These topics are in the focus of the President.
00:34:51Alexander Lukashenko paid a working visit to the Minsk region.
00:34:55The head of state arrived at Zenit Beloma JSC. The
00:34:59enterprise manufactures optical products for civilian and dual
00:35:02use, pneumatic brake system devices, auto components
00:35:06for quarry dump trucks, weight measuring equipment for medical
00:35:10purposes. Last year, a project to organize
00:35:13the production of innovative products was completed here.
00:35:45our holding increased by 5.6 times compared to the base
00:35:47year 2020, and export deliveries by
00:35:516.6 times, wages for 5 years
00:35:54increased by 2.5 times, that is, we worked very
00:35:58hard, in fact, we had the best five-year period in
00:36:01post-Soviet times, but we
00:36:04are not stopping, the goal for this year is at least 110%
00:36:08production volume, export deliveries
00:36:11105%. Of course, such growth
00:36:15could not be ensured without investment activities, without
00:36:18the introduction of new products. At all enterprises
00:36:22included in the holding, a number of investment projects
00:36:26were implemented during the five-year period.
00:37:27At the center of the head of state's attention is the harvesting campaign, trade in rural
00:37:31areas, and providing the population with a wide range of goods. Alexander
00:37:34Lukashenko calls for more active work with domestic
00:37:37producers. The countries of the Eurasian Economic
00:37:41Union have concluded an agreement on electronic trade in goods in
00:37:44the EAEU. The document was signed by the prime ministers of the five countries
00:37:47following the meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Kyrgyzstan.
00:37:51The agreement lays down a common legal framework for electronic trade
00:37:55in the Union, ensuring transparency, fair regulation
00:37:58for business, as well as effective protection of consumer rights.
00:38:02Belarusian Prime Minister Alexander Turchin urged his colleagues to comprehensively analyze
00:38:05the conditions for supporting industrial cooperation, to study the opinions
00:38:08and proposals from consumers. From
00:38:11July 2024, a mechanism for
00:38:14financing joint industrial cooperation projects
00:38:17will be in effect. By agreement of the parties, the project is
00:38:20pilot in nature with a term of 5 years.
00:38:24Two years of application practice has shown that this instrument
00:38:27has not fully worked, which means that there are flaws and
00:38:31gaps in this mechanism that prevent its widespread use by
00:38:35economic entities of our countries. The starting
00:38:38conditions for financing industrial cooperation projects significantly
00:38:41influence the degree of possibility of applying this
00:38:45stimulating instrument. The Belarusian side also calls on partners
00:38:49to give a green light to cooperation in the scientific and technical sphere, so that
00:38:52Eurasian cooperation projects are innovative,
00:38:55high-tech, and based on digital
00:38:58solutions. Environmental friendliness and flexible adaptation to
00:39:01global market demands. The newsprint factory in Shklov is opening up new niches
00:39:05for itself. Thanks to production modernization, the enterprise
00:39:08quickly responded to global eco-trends and switched to
00:39:11closed-cycle production. Instead of primary
00:39:14wood, hundreds of tons of waste paper are recycled here. The output
00:39:18is paper for corrugated cardboard, which is in demand
00:39:21in foreign markets. The Shklov factory produces about 70,000
00:39:24tons of paper. The focus is on niche products. The base for
00:39:28cash register receipts used to be imported into the region from abroad. Today, this
00:39:32is the only enterprise in Belarus that produces such paper
00:39:35base. Another high-tech product is paper
00:39:38base for decorative facing materials.
00:39:42This is a product made from our
00:39:45paper. From paper, from paper,
00:39:48yes. We have also
00:39:52recently mastered the production of paper base
00:39:55for decorative purposes. Clients
00:40:00from Russia ordered such paper from us, here, I think,
00:40:04there are more than a thousand layers of paper, they are glued, they
00:40:08are pressed. Today, 70% of all factory products
00:40:11are exported, the geography of supplies ranges from Russia and Uzbekistan
00:40:15to Turkey and Iran. Under
00:40:18the bright name of Kupala, the summer school of Belarusian language and culture is held
00:40:22at Grodno State University. For the sixth time, the university walls united
00:40:2615 students and...
00:40:38well, something unexpected, because on the first day, I already answered
00:40:42in Belarusian at the opening, on the second
00:40:45day of the school, journalists also
00:40:48came, and also, as you
00:40:52just asked me, what would be more
00:40:55convenient for me, whether to answer questions in Russian or Belarusian, and
00:40:59I could also answer.
