00:02:40Digital cooperation, increased exports, the launch of direct
00:02:43flights, Belarus and Saudi Arabia are reaching a fundamentally new
00:02:47level of economic cooperation. The first
00:02:50transit route connected Belarus and Uzbekistan. The "Slavic
00:02:53Caravan" project will speed up cargo delivery by
00:02:55rail. Tastings, a bakers' competition, a tractor show in
00:02:59Grodno. The region invites you to the Bread Festival. What is the recipe for
00:03:02that very father's bun, what is the secret of the popularity of
00:03:05Karavaifest, an expert's opinion. A circulation of
00:03:082,000 copies, the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented the English version of the book
00:03:12"Our President". For new knowledge to the top of
00:03:16the planet, a high school student from Vitebsk will go to the North Pole on an atomic
00:03:19icebreaker. On air is the "Events" program, in the studio is Kapitolina
00:03:23Denkevich. Hello. Belarus and Saudi Arabia
00:03:27are building a new strategy of interaction. From the beginning.
00:03:33The reason for a closer dialogue was the recent meeting of
00:03:36the Belarusian-Saudi business council in Minsk. In the League of Arab
00:03:40States, the potential of Belarus is highly appreciated, noting
00:03:43the progressive development of relations with the state. The message
00:03:47is as before one, this
00:03:50is not only an increase in activity, but also results, we
00:03:53are more for the latter,
00:03:56here it should be noted that Alexander Grigorievich has done
00:04:00a lot, next the question is for us, for exporters, for
00:04:03manufacturers, only administrative decisions,
00:04:07of course, cannot achieve results, we must be active, which is what we
00:04:11are doing, there is interest, our products today,
00:04:15unfortunately, are not so widely represented, here
00:04:18we still need to work, including on positioning,
00:04:22uh, but I am sure that the basis is the quality of Belarusian
00:04:25products, they will play their role, but positioning, here
00:04:29is a certain message for our manufacturers, exporters, it
00:04:32should be finalized. Also on the agenda is the launch of direct
00:04:36air travel, this will make contacts between the two countries even more
00:04:39operational and saturated.
00:04:42The first transit freight train "Slavic Caravan" departed last
00:04:45week from Orsha to Uzbekistan. In sixty wagons there are woodworking
00:04:49products - food cargo. The train followed
00:04:53the route Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. It will run
00:04:56twice a month at the initial stage for wagon consolidation. The
00:05:00station Orsha-Vostochnaya has been chosen, here goods arrive from all regions of
00:05:03Belarus. In the future, it is planned to expand the range of goods
00:05:07to include wagons with containers delivered by
00:05:10road. This will allow you to...
00:05:43mutually complement
00:05:46our economies. Belarus
00:05:49with its goods is actively moving
00:05:53into Uzbekistan, and on the way back, of course, we
00:05:56will be waiting for the Eastern Caravan to arrive here.
00:06:00Indeed, a through route, because in
00:06:02the supply of our goods, as well as
00:06:05Uzbek goods, the cost and delivery
00:06:08times of goods are of great importance. And on this
00:06:11example, I can give a number of figures, that
00:06:14the delivery of a twenty-ton container costs
00:06:18at least one and a half times cheaper than delivery by
00:06:22road transport. The second train of this type has already been formed, the project
00:06:25is being implemented in the development of decisions made at a high level to
00:06:28increase supplies of Belarusian products in demand on the Uzbek market,
00:06:31engineering, woodworking, and agriculture.
00:06:35And continuing the topic of economic cooperation between
00:06:39Belarus and Uzbekistan. Today, both states are conducting
00:06:43active work to expand cooperation in the field of production, as well as the interaction of
00:06:47large and medium businesses. In particular, the parties
00:06:50intend to bring the level of trade turnover to 2 billion dollars.
00:06:53Productive work is underway in the given direction.
00:06:56Representatives of business circles of Uzbekistan visited the Grodno
00:07:00Invest free economic zone. Special attention to export opportunities and
00:07:04prospects of industrial cooperation. Our resident enterprises of
00:07:07the SEZ export timber,
00:07:11sawn timber.
00:07:42establish SEZ residents for the possible creation of contract
00:07:46production, dealerships and once again assure
00:07:50the Uzbek side of our reliable, mutually beneficial
00:07:54cooperation. Grodno Invest is already implementing a project with
00:07:57Uzbek capital, and the volumes of mutual trade are growing. Only from
00:08:01January to May 2026, the trade turnover of SEZ residents with
00:08:04this Central Asian country amounted to about 20 million
00:08:08dollars. Belarus and the Kaluga region of Russia signed a plan of
00:08:12measures for interaction in trade and economic,
00:08:15scientific and technical, and cultural cooperation. The main
00:08:18economic guideline is to achieve a trade turnover of 1 billion dollars.
00:08:21The steps that will allow to overcome the milestone have been approved, the parties
00:08:25are confident. Agreements have been formalized in the field of agricultural machinery supplies,
00:08:28a powerful impetus is given to military-industrial complex cooperation, including
00:08:31the construction of a turnkey dairy farm complex.
00:08:34Investment projects will be implemented in the field of agro-drone production,
00:08:38technologies will allow to increase yields in agriculture.
00:08:41Belarusian builders have been successfully building residential quarters,
00:08:45modern schools, and kindergartens in the Kaluga region for many years.
00:08:48Cooperation in this direction will continue.
00:08:52The construction sector has come to the Kaluga region seriously
00:08:55and for a long time. The facilities that we are completing this year,
00:08:58we have planned to work on other sites, to work on
00:09:02the construction of residential buildings. The emphasis will be on
00:09:06the development of rural areas, the construction of a kind of
00:09:09such settlements for ... residents
00:09:13of the rural agglomeration have been planned,
00:09:17the supply of construction structures, materials. One billion
00:09:21dollars is not far off, this is our goal, and we will definitely achieve it.
00:09:25Education is a component of our partnership relations. Today, by the way,
00:09:2820 students from Belarus are studying in Kaluga universities,
00:09:32and of course we are always
00:09:36ready, within the framework of our educational exchange, to make sure
00:09:40that our students have such opportunities. Of course,
00:09:49Belarus has great expertise in this area, we are ready,
00:09:52of course, to consider this issue. The parties intend to use the full potential to
00:09:56increase trade turnover, with an emphasis on long-term
00:09:59partnership and economic effect. A new project of the Belarusian
00:10:03National Biotechnological Corporation in the Stolbtsy district,
00:10:06an enterprise for growing rainbow trout, is designed to replace
00:10:10imported delicacies on our shelves and at the same time become
00:10:13a testing ground for domestic
00:10:16compound feeds. The first pool has 800 cubic meters of water and
00:10:191,000 fry. The ambitious plan for the end of the year is 30 tons of live
00:10:23Belarusian trout. We feed
00:10:27five times a day, we calculate the amount of feed that
00:10:31is needed for feeding so that the fish
00:10:34gains weight. We are also studying
00:10:38water parameters regarding biochemical processes in
00:10:41it, this is acidity, ammonia, ammonium,
00:10:45nitrates, nitrites for excretion, we maintain the norm so that they do not exceed
00:10:48their indicators for the fish to feel good,
00:10:52our corporation is following the
00:10:55law
00:11:04not in theory but in practice, that is, to prove and show
00:11:07our consumers that our
00:11:10feeds are indeed not just
00:11:14special, but high-quality and
00:11:17good feeds for excellent growth, three feeding
00:11:20schemes, daily weight gain control, cost reduction by 15.
00:11:2520%. These are the economic parameters of the fish farming experiment
00:11:28and the first results are already encouraging. The trout
00:11:32is growing faster than expected. More
00:11:35news from the economy and beyond on our TV channel's website and social
00:11:39networks.
00:11:44The real bread capital of Belarus will be Svisloch on August
00:11:4815. The city in the Grodno region will host the Karavay-fest Batkovy
00:11:51Bulka. All Belarusians and guests from abroad
00:11:55are invited to join the bright and original
00:11:58festival. What will surprise and delight the audience
00:12:01at the forum this year? Olga Bogdanovich, chief
00:12:04director of the republican festival, is on the line with the
00:12:07studio. Olga, welcome. This year the festival is already
00:12:11the fifth, it has managed to win popular love and become
00:12:14popular. Tell us about the history of its
00:12:17creation. Well, actually, Karavay
00:12:21Fest appeared 5 years ago. Bulka on
00:12:25the festive map of not only the Grodno region, but also the Republic
00:12:29of Belarus as a whole. To be honest,
00:12:31I remember as if it were today, a call, back then the chairman
00:12:35of the Svislach District Executive Committee was a wonderful person,
00:12:38Alexander Lyudvigovich Versotsky, who very, very much
00:12:42loves creative people, and is one himself. And he
00:12:45calls on the phone and says: Did you watch the news? Yes, I watched it, the
00:12:49head of state came to our bakery, tasted the bread, and
00:12:52after that, after the news came out, the residents of Svislach
00:12:55came to the store and asked: give
00:12:58us a bun that "batka"
00:13:01tasted. And Alexandrovich tells this story,
00:13:05saying: this is such an occasion, this is such a wonderful
00:13:08story that could be covered in the holidays, what do
00:13:11you think? Karavay-fest, the form came very quickly,
00:13:15bread, Karavay-fest, so, of course, I think in this
00:13:18direction, we talked like that with him, he says: great, there is a form, now let's
00:13:22come up with a name. Right there in a phone conversation.
00:13:34That's exactly what the residents of Svislach called it, people who
00:13:38watched the news and who wanted to taste one of
00:13:41the most delicious breads in the country, that's why Karavaifes was born
00:13:45that way, the very first one, it started
00:13:48with us, in principle, as is now traditional in
00:13:51August, we presented many
00:13:54venues that we are keeping
00:13:57and hope will remain in the festival's history in the future,
00:14:00because the festival was initially
00:14:03created as a traditional one, we would like people who
00:14:07learned about it from the news, from the internet, from their friends,
00:14:11neighbors, and have never been to it, to come to the very
00:14:15festival that someone saw or
00:14:18covered in the news in the previous year, well, thank God this
00:14:21year is the anniversary one. a master class that we invented at
00:15:37the very first festival, slightly modified for the second and
00:15:41third, of course, we are keeping it for the fifth.
00:15:44So, at this master class you can try to learn
00:15:48how to braid that very "batkova bulka" (father's bun),
00:15:51choose your recipe for a rich, delicious dough,
00:15:54come home, braid and bake it. Well, at
00:15:58least the shape of this very bun, if you
00:16:01repeat it, will probably remind you of the taste of a real
00:16:04"batkova bulka", although... Of course, at our festival we promote and
00:16:08declare that any bread in Belarus is
00:16:11"batkova", that is, "batkova bulka".
00:16:15The festival promises many surprises. What will you
00:16:18surprise participants and guests with this
00:16:21year? Yes, of course, the fifth
00:16:24festival, although we declare it as a traditional festival,
00:16:27a festival in which we would very much like to preserve the developments that we have already
00:16:31come up with, but the surprises will continue and, well, firstly,
00:16:34it is the anniversary, fifth. Secondly, it is this year that we have become
00:16:38a republican festival, received such a high
00:16:41title, such high quality, and of course, responsibility to
00:16:44our viewers. We are expanding the territory
00:16:48of the festival, before that it was held only
00:16:51in the city square of Svisloch, last
00:16:54year we went a little beyond the framework of Svislach, coming up with
00:16:58a tractor Bolka show, this is such a tractor Trial, this year
00:17:02we are installing a new stage already in the city
00:17:05park of Svislach, thus
00:17:07expanding the territory of our festival,
00:17:11also among the novelties
00:17:13can be noted that the tractor itself will change, it will become more
00:17:17spectacular, more masterful, our agility will grow
00:17:20in competitive elements,
00:17:23we are preparing a demonstration performance from
00:17:27a wonderful Voronovo tractor driver,
00:17:30a woman, we hope we will be able to implement this
00:17:33idea, also we will have new
00:17:36artists who have not previously come to the festival, guests
00:17:39of the festival, come, you will learn everything, in principle, you can already find
00:17:43the program on the Internet, and the new
00:17:47stage will delight with new concert programs,
00:17:50cover bands, a play that we will show
00:17:53in the open air, be sure to come, be sure to
00:17:56see, and of course be surprised.
00:18:002026 is the year of
00:18:03the Belarusian woman, surely the theme will be reflected at
00:18:06the bread festival. Yes, indeed,
00:18:092026 is the year of the Belarusian woman, we decided
00:18:12to use this wonderful opportunity at the anniversary
00:18:16festival and dedicated all the festival
00:18:19venues to the Belarusian woman. Before, we had
00:18:23the Gospodar show. This year we are doing the Gospodynya show. We have
00:18:27such a wonderful element dedicated to Belarusian
00:18:29folklore, dedicated to Belarusian cuisine and Belarusian way of life. This
00:18:33year it will acquire such a female sound.
00:18:37Our opening will be fully dedicated to the woman
00:18:40harvester, the woman baker, the woman whose
00:18:44hands create this very father's
00:18:46bun, the evening concert, it will remain in
00:18:50a retro-sing-along format, this is traditional,
00:18:53but the whole concert will be dedicated to women, about women, for
00:18:57women, of course with our "batkovsky",
00:19:01"batkovo-bulkovsky" flavor, and also
00:19:04the tractor Bulka show, what I was talking about this year. We
00:19:07did not hold a competition among women, we really wanted to, but
00:19:11it's not surprising, it's still a male profession, but we,
00:19:15the organizers, are very, very much looking forward to the demonstration performance by the Voronovo tractor driver.
00:19:18By the way, regarding the innovations, going back to the previous
00:19:22question, we can say that surprises await us from
00:19:25Grodno Bread Promo, because last
00:19:28year they made a five-meter "batkova bulka", they are still
00:19:32intriguing and not revealing the secret of what will be on
00:19:35their site this year, but I think that this year they
00:19:39will also surprise us, and of course, the competition of bread
00:19:42masterpieces, some of which, by the way, are in the Palace of
00:19:46Independence of our country, so the competition of bread masterpieces
00:19:49is annually dedicated to some theme, we started with
00:19:52architecture, these were amazing creations, I would even
00:19:56say, sculptural creations of temples, the Grodno
00:20:00regional drama theater, castles, this year we
00:20:03dedicate to women, this is much more difficult, we invited our bakers
00:20:07and culinary specialists to create either portrait works
00:20:11on bread, or sculptural works
00:20:14dedicated to the Belarusian woman, who it will be,
00:20:17Kupala's harvester in a Belarusian crown or
00:20:20modern women who weave this
00:20:24father's bun, well, we'll see at the
00:20:26festival. And how many guests
00:20:30do you expect? Well, speaking, of course, about
00:20:34Karavay-fest Batkovy Bulka, our republican
00:20:37status, it is already obvious about guests from the republic,
00:20:41we welcome everyone, we welcome all regions, in principle, from the very first
00:20:44festival, the Gomel region is friends with us, the Brest
00:20:48region is friends with us, this year
00:21:20the bun, to see, to participate in this festival,
00:21:24because our festival is a celebration, where you can
00:21:26directly become a participant in this event, so we expect
00:21:30many guests, a small Svislach, located in
00:21:34a picturesque corner near Belovezhskaya Pushcha, of course
00:21:37is ready to cordially welcome everyone and
00:21:40celebrate from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.,
00:21:44meeting guests, you also come, what
00:21:47conditions are created for those wishing to visit the festival, how to get there
00:21:51for guests? You can get to Svislach by
00:21:54public transport, in general, transport runs from Grodno, you can get there
00:21:58through Volkovysk, there is such a point on the map of the Grodno
00:22:02region, but Svislach itself turns into this
00:22:05day on Saturday into a large, large
00:22:09such a playground, a gaming area, a concert area,
00:22:12an entertainment area, and therefore the organizers
00:22:16have provided a plan,
00:22:18a scheme of extensive
00:22:22parking lots, whoever comes by their own transport, arrives, leaves it, and
00:22:26in literally 7-10 minutes, we are already in the city center, already
00:22:29celebrating the holiday, in general, there is public
00:22:32intercity transport, which, well, if we are going far, then
00:22:36of course it's better to get to Grodno, you can, I will mention
00:22:39again, get to Volkovysk and from there get to
00:22:42Svislach by public transport, but this
00:22:46year, as one of the new logistical features, the organizers
00:22:50have planned a tent
00:22:52city, I suggest using exactly
00:22:56this service, why? Because then you can come
00:22:59the day before, settle in, relax, freely celebrate on
00:23:02Saturday, and you can also stay and celebrate until 2:00
00:23:06a.m., some guests celebrate until 5:00 a.m., everything
00:23:10is provided for this, then go rest, well, then you can
00:23:14safely return to your homeland or
00:23:17home, we invite everyone,
00:24:20The main goal of such operations is to sow panic, undermine
00:24:24trust in state institutions or change
00:24:27public attitudes towards some important events. Remember,
00:24:30information hygiene and protection from noodles on your ears is
00:24:34not only the task of propaganda, the government and Lukashenka, it
00:24:37is also, and even primarily, your own task.
00:24:40Absolutely true, in difficult times for the country, Lukashenka will be in
00:24:44the country, and if necessary, he will definitely be next to his
00:24:47people. And if it gets really hot, then with...
00:25:00The daily life of Belarusian servicemen, the training of recruits,
00:25:04exercises, as well as the latest models of military
00:25:07equipment. Truly sovereign can only be that
00:25:11country, this is especially true now,
00:25:14which has a strong, well-armed
00:25:18and loyal to the people
00:25:21and state army, which includes
00:25:23true professionals in uniform. These
00:25:27modernized machines embody advanced engineering
00:25:31solutions of the Belarusian military industrial complex.
00:25:35We studied at the military academy in various
00:25:39military units, in various aeroclubs, and
00:25:42there were different types of equipment there. And
00:25:45we flew on gliders, yes, everything, but it's not
00:25:48a fighter jet. Everything about the life of the armed forces
00:25:52of the Republic of Belarus, watch in the "Arsenal" project on
00:25:56Sundays on Belarus 24
00:25:58TV channel.
00:26:14This is the "Events" program, and we continue. Circulation
00:26:17of 200 copies, the presentation of the English edition of the book
00:26:20"Our President" took place at the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The new edition was presented to
00:26:24the heads of diplomatic missions and consular
00:26:27institutions of the country. The English edition of the book should become
00:26:31a tool in the work of diplomats, from whom it will
00:26:34depend on how the book is received abroad. There is great
00:26:37interest from the foreign audience, the Belarusian experience is in demand
00:26:40in the world, and the new edition will be a good help for our
00:26:44diplomats, especially in those countries where they have to
00:26:48break through the wall of disinformation regarding Belarus every day.
00:26:51There is not much objective information about the Republic
00:26:54of Belarus,
00:26:57well, and it arises situationally, it arises event-wise, when
00:27:01some official event.
00:28:32friendly, I've already befriended them, they are very
00:28:35active, kind, easily make contact, there are also interesting
00:28:39sports games and competitions in the camp, such events
00:28:43unite us, this year we are hosting children from
00:28:47ten countries, delegations from Uzbekistan,
00:28:51Kyrgyzstan, from Algeria, Egypt, India
00:28:55and Zimbabwe have already rested with us, now
00:28:58a delegation from Vietnam is undergoing rehabilitation.
00:29:32of the educational project Icebreaker of Knowledge. About 5,000
00:29:36schoolchildren aged 14 to 16 from more
00:29:39than 20 countries competed for participation. To find out how the world's only nuclear
00:29:43icebreaker fleet works, to see the amazing nature of
00:29:46the Arctic, the unique opportunities that the Icebreaker
00:29:49of Knowledge project opens up for schoolchildren, to take advantage of this
