00:00:00friendship, we
00:00:02exchange visits,
00:00:05participate in various international
00:00:08events, we pay great attention to
00:00:11trade and economic topics. Belarus
00:00:14is primarily interested in
00:00:17opportunities
00:00:19for supplying its equipment to
00:00:22Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is
00:00:26a mining country,
00:00:30our heavy грузовые
00:00:34trucks are popular there, it
00:00:36is an agricultural country,
00:00:39so there are many points of contact between Belarus and Uzbekistan.
00:00:43Belarusians can once again travel to Qatar. Belavia resumed charter
00:00:47flights to Doha from August 10th. The flight
00:00:50program was suspended in March due to the unstable
00:00:53situation in the region, but after confirmation of safety from the
00:00:57tourist agency. The route returns.
00:01:00Flights will be operated once every 10-11 days. In
00:01:044 years, Doha has become one of the most popular
00:01:08destinations. Made in Belarus continues to conquer foreign markets,
00:01:12especially in this hot summer. A company from Kobrin
00:01:15supplies sweet dairy treats to Russia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan,
00:01:19Kazakhstan, Georgia, and the Chinese market.
00:01:22In May and June, the factory shipped
00:01:2516 tons of ice cream
00:01:28to China.
00:02:00In addition, many consumers come from afar, spending 2-3 hours
00:02:03on a bus, having heard about the taste of Belarusian
00:02:07ice cream. In addition to ice cream, the product range also includes
00:02:11cocktails, which are also made from
00:02:14high-quality Belarusian raw materials. Plus,
00:02:17we added delivery to the project.
00:02:21Now products are delivered to nearby areas,
00:02:24and I'll be honest, a second
00:02:28Belarusian ice cream retail pavilion has already opened in Shanghai.
00:02:32The opening took place on June
00:02:3526th, and it is also successfully gaining
00:04:08Belarus considers Algeria to be one of the key partners in North
00:04:12Africa and welcomes an active exchange of bilateral
00:04:15delegation visits in the fields of industry and agriculture.
00:04:18The Free Economic Zone in Vitebsk expands
00:04:22business cooperation with Uzbekistan. During
00:04:25online negotiations, the parties discussed prospects for cooperation,
00:04:28export-import potential, and the implementation
00:04:30of investment projects. Belarus is actively increasing its supplies
00:04:34of rapeseed oil both to the domestic market and for export. With
00:04:38the guest of the program, we will talk about the new trend in the food culture of Belarusians, about
00:04:42how a domestic product conquers foreign
00:05:14of the Eurasian Economic Union have concluded an agreement on
00:05:17electronic trade in goods in the EAEU.
00:05:21The document was signed by the Prime Ministers of the five countries following the meeting
00:05:24of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in Kyrgyzstan. Our economic observer
00:05:28Evgeny Kolechets will continue the topic. The agreement lays
00:05:31a common legal framework for electronic trade in
00:05:35the Union, ensuring transparency and fairness of regulation for
00:05:38businesses, as well as effective protection of consumer rights.
00:05:51Since July 2024, a mechanism for
00:05:54financing joint cooperation projects
00:05:57in industry has been in place. By agreement of the parties, the project has
00:06:00a pilot nature with a term of 5 years.
00:06:04Two years of practical application showed that this tool has not fully
00:06:08worked. This means that there are flaws and gaps in this mechanism
00:06:11that prevent its widespread use
00:06:15by economic entities in our countries. The starting
00:06:18conditions for financing industrial cooperation projects significantly
00:06:21affect the degree of possibility of applying this
00:06:25stimulating instrument. The Belarusian side also calls on
00:06:28partners to give the green light to cooperation in the scientific and technical
00:06:32sphere, so that Eurasian cooperation projects are innovative,
00:06:36high-tech, and based on digital
00:06:39solutions. Belarus considers Algeria to be one of the key
00:06:42partners in North Africa and on the African continent as a whole. Recently,
00:06:46a number of visits by delegations of both states took place, and
00:06:49businessmen from both countries visited various exhibitions in Algeria and
00:06:52Belarus. What are the prospects for bilateral relations? Belarus and Algeria
00:06:56are traditionally united by friendly relations, mutual respect,
00:07:00and similar approaches to fundamental issues of the international agenda. This
00:07:04was noted during the visit of the Minister of State, Minister of Foreign
00:07:07Affairs for National Communities Abroad and African Affairs of Algeria to Minsk. Belarus
00:07:11considers the activation of dialogue as an important stage in the further development
00:07:14of relations and the strengthening of the spirit of cooperation that
00:07:18was laid by the presidents of the two countries in December of last year.
00:07:22I remind you, the heads of our states in December
00:07:252025 set an ambitious task
00:07:28for us to achieve a trade
00:07:31turnover of
00:07:34500 million dollars by the end of 2027.
00:07:37This is a very ambitious task,
00:07:41and today it is designed
00:08:12to precisely
00:08:17achieve the goal of 500 million dollars
00:08:20in our trade turnover and lay the foundation for
00:08:23inter-human and inter-state relations in all
00:08:27directions. A number
00:08:31of initial contracts for the
00:08:33supply of Belarusian products to Algeria and Algerian products to
00:08:37Belarus were also signed, which are already
00:08:41yielding results today.
00:09:14a whole series of projects. The Free Economic Zone in Vitebsk is expanding business cooperation with
00:09:17Uzbekistan. What joint ventures are planned to be opened and
00:09:21what has already been done? The SEZ administration held online negotiations with
00:09:25the Directorate for the Management of Industrial Zones of Tashkent. The parties
00:09:28discussed prospects for cooperation, export-import potential, and
00:09:32the implementation of investment projects. Already next spring, the Vitebsk SEZ
00:09:36plans to begin the construction of a new
00:09:39woodworking production facility. The main outcome
00:09:42of the online meeting was the signing of a roadmap with a large Uzbek enterprise. The foundation for
00:09:45new projects was laid in July at the second forum of regions of Belarus and
00:09:49Uzbekistan. In Minsk, representatives of a company from
00:09:52Tashkent signed
00:09:56SEZ. The document provides for the construction of a
00:10:00production facility in Vitebsk for household and industrial
00:10:03products. The project will be implemented literally
00:10:06immediately. The development of a business plan will begin within
00:10:1010 days. The technical specifications are currently
00:10:13being prepared, which means it will be woodworking,
00:10:16deep woodworking, three-stage, that is, the first
00:10:20stage will be boards and drying, the second is the production
00:10:23of particleboard for their volume. The third is all the trim,
00:10:27doors, windows, baseboards, all joinery, that is,
00:10:31these are the plans. The amount of investment being considered is about 20
00:10:34million dollars. New construction will take place here on
00:10:37the site. Today, 53 investment
00:10:41projects are being implemented in the Vitebsk free economic zone. Currently,
00:10:43six projects are in development
00:10:47at various stages of development. Some have agreements, some
00:10:49are preparing a business plan. But we plan to register
00:10:53two or three companies in September, where business plans are
00:10:57almost ready. These are two projects in Orsha and another project
00:11:00in Zhurzhevo, new construction. Today, cooperation
00:11:03between residents of the free economic zone and Uzbekistan is strategic
00:11:07in nature and includes a wide variety of interaction models, from direct
00:11:11export supplies to the creation of full-fledged production facilities.
00:11:14Environmental friendliness and flexible adaptation to global market
00:11:18demands. The newspaper paper factory in Shklov is opening new
00:11:21horizons for itself. What is it about and what new
00:11:25products are being manufactured at the enterprise? Thanks to the modernization of production,
00:11:29the enterprise quickly responded to global eco-trends and
00:11:32switched to closed-cycle production. Instead of primary
00:11:36wood, hundreds of tons of waste paper are processed here. The output
00:11:39is corrugated cardboard paper in demand on
00:11:42foreign markets. Annually, the Shklov plant produces about 70 thousand
00:11:46tons of paper. The focus is on niche products, the base for
00:11:49cash register receipts that used to be imported from abroad. Today, this
00:11:53is the only enterprise in Belarus that produces such
00:11:57base paper. Another high-tech product is base paper
00:12:00for decorative facing materials.
00:12:03This is a product made from our
00:12:07paper, from paper, from paper,
00:12:10yes. And we
00:12:13also mastered not so long ago,
00:12:16the production of base paper for decorative facing
00:12:20materials, Bofon. Clients from Russia
00:12:23ordered from us. The geography of supplies ranges from Russia
00:12:25and Uzbekistan to Turkey and
00:12:43the economic sphere and beyond on our TV channel's website and social
00:12:46networks.
00:12:51Belarus is actively developing the production and sale of rapeseed oil, increasing
00:12:55it both for the domestic market and for export. This product
00:12:58is positioned as a healthy and affordable alternative
00:13:01to other vegetable oils, because it is rich in healthy fats and acids that
00:13:05contribute to maintaining the health of the cardiovascular
00:13:08system. How can rapeseed oil affect the daily
00:13:12life and habits of consumers? Are there enough production
00:13:15capacities, at what level is the cultivation of oilseed
00:13:19crops in the country today? We will talk about this today with the guest of the studio, the head
00:13:23of the department for coordination of supplies to the domestic market, foreign trade
00:13:26activities of the Belgospischeprom concern,
00:13:33grocery store in Belarus, there is always rapeseed oil on the shelves.
00:13:36This is all thanks to the initiative of our antitrust
00:13:40a measure needed, why should rapeseed oil have
00:13:44become an essential product? In fact, you
00:13:47are right, rapeseed oil is now widely represented in trade,
00:13:50if, for example, before there was one or two names, now
00:13:53it is three or four. And more with such an initiative to
00:13:57amend the resolution of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation, the
00:14:01Belgospischeprom concern came forward, and the resolution was about the list
00:14:04of goods, and we initiated an increase in the representation of rapeseed
00:14:08oil in our retail chains so that
00:14:11people would have the opportunity to freely purchase
00:14:14rapeseed oil and not just one,
00:14:17for example, name, but various ones, because
00:14:21in fact, the assortment of rapeseed oil is very wide, and
00:14:24what kind? For example, there is rapeseed oil with the addition of Provencal
00:14:28herbs, it is ideal for
00:14:31rapeseed oil enriched additionally
00:14:34with vitamins, also for those who lead a healthy lifestyle,
00:14:38well, the production of rapeseed oil itself is very
00:14:40high-tech, a complex process, many nuances, many
00:14:44stages, and as far as I know, there are four enterprises in Belarus that produce
00:14:48food-grade rapeseed oil. Are there enough production capacities? How will we
00:14:52modernize, or is modernization already underway? Let's talk about
00:15:25it. which will be used in the production of confectionery fats,
00:15:29confectionery fats, as we understand, are of course very much in demand in our
00:15:32confectionery industry, that is, it is such a complex
00:15:35line, but they are now...
00:16:37we hold various press conferences, when we inform
00:16:41the population about the benefits of rapeseed oil, very
00:16:45often at these press conferences,
00:16:47selectors speak, who tell how far they have
00:16:51come, how the scale of
00:16:55rapeseed varieties is expanding, and the areas
00:16:58sown with rapeseed are increasing, so they are certainly
00:17:02doing great, they are not standing still, they are implementing new technologies,
00:17:04so they are doing great, that's why, probably, rapeseed is called
00:17:08Belarusian black gold. If
00:17:11we talk about the popularization of rapeseed oil, in 2025 the "Colleagues by Omega" project was launched,
00:17:14a large-scale campaign to promote rapeseed oil among Belarusians.
00:17:18Is this campaign successful, what can you say? There is success,
00:17:21of course, but not only
00:17:25thanks to our promotion, "Colleagues by Omega", because
00:17:28the Belgospischeprom concern has been actively working
00:17:31for 5 years to bring to
00:17:35the public the benefits of rapeseed oil. And as you
00:17:38have already said, together with the Ministry
00:17:42of Antimonopoly Regulation, the concern is holding a promotion, "Colleagues by
00:17:45Omega", in 2025 we held it, in
00:17:48early 2026, now in September-October
00:17:51the second stage will start, and what is characteristic, I
00:17:55will not reveal all the secrets now, but the second stage
00:17:58will be more focused on our young
00:18:00Belarusians, there will be very bright social advertising, there will be
00:18:04various promotions in retail chains.
00:18:28In fact, there is now such a trend for Belarusians to adhere to a healthy lifestyle as much as possible, and
00:18:32rapeseed oil is ideal for
00:18:35supporting healthy nutrition. Because, firstly,
00:18:38it is very useful in terms of a large
00:18:41amount of unsaturated fatty acids, such as
00:18:44omega-6, omega-4, also many
00:18:47vitamins, trace elements. Another feature of rapeseed
00:18:51oil is that it does not foam, it does not burn during
00:18:55frying and does not release carcinogens at
00:18:58temperatures up to 220 degrees Celsius.
00:19:00It is also ideal for dressing salads, for
00:19:04deep frying. Many housewives now use it for
00:19:08winter preparations. This is what you need: one oil for all occasions.
00:19:17per day. Therefore, we
00:19:21think that thanks to the set of measures
00:19:24approved by the government in 2025,
00:19:26and this set of measures was developed for implementation until
00:19:302030, we see that by
00:19:332030, every Belarusian's table will have
00:19:37by the government, rapeseed oil, because thanks to this
00:19:39set of measures, which, as I said, was approved
00:19:44it allows us to replace sunflower
00:19:47oil with rapeseed oil in technological maps, in catering establishments, this
00:19:51includes school cafeterias, and restaurants and cafes,
00:19:55it also allows to change
00:19:57a little
00:19:59the culture of consuming rapeseed oil itself, that is, it is becoming more popular among
00:20:03athletes, among servicemen,
00:20:06among rescuers. That is precisely in their diet, because
00:20:09in fact, its benefit is unique. It is also
00:20:13important to note how important
00:20:16rapeseed oil is for our enterprises. For example, Lida
00:20:20Food Concentrates, they have now developed a new recipe for
00:20:24mashed potatoes and soup that does not require cooking.
00:20:28They changed the recipe using Arabian oil. For example,
00:20:31the confectionery industry, the Spartak confectionery factory, their famous
00:20:35cookie, "Kroshka-Osminozhka" (Octopus Crumb).
00:20:39They also replaced rapeseed oil in their recipe,
00:20:43added it there, like "Kroshka-Osminozhka" cookies, they are suitable for small children for preschool and school
00:20:46meals. In general, we are trying to get the maximum out of rapeseed oil.
00:21:20only after that do we have free volumes for export.
00:21:23Currently, the geography of supplies is very wide. It is important
00:21:27to note that enterprises prioritize the diversification
00:21:31of export markets, so we are already present on many continents,
00:21:34because, as is well known, Belarusian products are a sign
00:21:37of quality. Yes, yes, that's right. Anastasia Yuryevna, I thank you for
00:21:41the conversation. It was very interesting and, most importantly, useful. I remind you that
00:21:44Anastasia Skorobogatova, Head of the Department for Coordination of Supplies to the Domestic Market and Foreign Trade Activities of the Belgospischeprom Concern, answered the questions
00:21:47of the "Events" program.

00:23:37are looking for that very component where our capabilities coincide with
00:23:40the interests, the interest on the part
00:23:43of our partners. They want to cooperate with us because we are good, easily
00:23:46predictable, we are consistent, we are honest.
00:24:20cooperation. 24 Belarusian enterprises received the government
00:24:23award for achievements in the field of quality. Belarusian
00:24:27manufacturers are expanding their presence in the Georgian market. In Tbilisi,
00:24:30the tenth store of one of the Belmart retail chains opened. The head
00:24:34of Medbelarus, Maxim Rozhenkov, visited Mozambique.
00:24:38This country, with a population of almost forty million and access to the Indian
00:24:41Ocean, is extremely interested in Belarusian technologies.

00:27:50left Kamchatka, I missed it. When I
00:27:52come, work, and start putting together an exhibition, I pick
00:27:56up these exhibits, I go to the girls,
00:28:00to the museum staff, "Smell this, it smells like Kamchatka, it smells like a

00:30:34as possible, to stand firm and lead it into the new geopolitical structure
00:30:38of the planet, at least not weaker. And for a long time, the main goal of Belarus
00:30:42and its president has been to prevent war in his country. With
00:30:46this task, Alexander Grigoryevich copes
00:30:49admirably. Alexander Lukashenka, as a leader in
00:30:52economics, is engaged in creating strategic
00:30:55opportunities, and the rest of the vertical of power, the government, the embassy,
00:30:59should take advantage of them. from Alexander Grigoryevich to

00:35:32are losing a huge amount of land, and there, well,
00:35:36he's right, it's not free feed, but cheap, of course, and
00:35:40especially in the forest, I see some mowing, I
00:35:44flew straight through the... floodplain, some mow, and some don't, and

00:37:39has been revised. By September 1, 27
00:37:43textbooks and manuals have been reissued. Requirements for printing have become
00:37:46stricter: special paper that reduces eye
00:37:50strain, a light integral binding. Serious changes
00:37:54have affected the school curriculum.
00:38:27The most important thing, I believe, is exercises for students, artificial
00:38:30intelligence technologies will be applied, naturally in
00:38:34all grades, starting from
00:38:37the sixth, but there will be a slightly different specificity, in the sixth and seventh
00:38:41grades, let's say, it will be more about familiarization with how
00:38:45one can use generated images
00:38:48or text, in the eighth grade we will study the basics
00:38:51of prompting, students will sit down themselves,
00:38:55let's say, and try to do this, right? In the ninth grade
00:38:58artificial intelligence is being introduced into modeling. Another
00:39:02important topic is school nutrition. From September 1, an updated
00:39:06state standard comes into force. In
00:39:10Belarus, the number of groups in kindergartens for
00:39:13children under 2 years old is increasing. At the beginning of the academic year, their number
00:39:16will grow to 600 across the country. Groups will work not
00:39:20only in short-day mode, but also up to 12:00
00:39:24stay. The goal is to create all conditions for work.
00:40:28The service will appear in 2027.
00:40:30For now, in the Grodno region, it will naturally undergo
00:40:34approbation, right, certain conclusions will be drawn, some
00:40:37adjustments will be made for the wind, including technical ones, further
00:40:41scaling of this service will
00:40:44be provided to the entire country. In the
00:40:47Grodno region, the export of tourist services in
00:40:502026 has already exceeded last year's figure by
00:40:5442%. More than 80%.
