00:12:07Minsk once again confirmed the high status of the capital of regional
00:12:11cooperation and hosted another meeting of the Eurasian
00:12:14Intergovernmental Council. Yes, the choice of time and place is not accidental,
00:12:18the main topic was industrial cooperation, and the reason was
00:12:21the large-scale exhibition Inoprom Belarus, which worked
00:12:25in the capital from September 30 to October 2. The Eurasian
00:12:28Economic Union, as the most advanced format of integration,
00:12:32today especially needs high-tech innovative
00:12:35projects that will fill it with concrete deeds and
00:12:38achievements. The basis of cooperation in the scientific and technical
00:12:42sphere. The task of the government is to give a green light to new projects,
00:12:45to engage all mechanisms to eliminate obstacles on the path to
00:12:49deep and effective integration. This was discussed
00:12:52at the meeting in Minsk. I really do.
00:13:25Not only with us, look, in America, as soon as gasoline went up, that's it,
00:13:28revolution, uproar and so on, people look at
00:13:32life from the point of view of economics,
00:13:34you are the main people in your countries, in
00:13:38economic terms, God grant that everything works out, what
00:13:41you have outlined, as for Belarus, I want to
00:13:45assure you, and you will not blame me for anything, we
00:13:49took our course long ago, I have been working
00:13:52as president for too long and for a long time.
00:15:33A robot with technical vision for quality control, airplane models.
00:15:37Drone control systems, they also
00:15:40showed the first Belarusian-Russian 3D printer, an example of cooperation
00:15:43between the two countries, the expectation to see their partners, their
00:15:46customers, clients, to communicate, get feedback
00:15:50with colleagues, make some general plans,
00:15:54talk to competitors, so basically these are
00:15:57new acquaintances, new connections, new ideas, everything
00:16:00worked out, everything is great, a good exhibition, everything is done
00:16:04really well, very clearly, many people, many... came,
00:16:08we had friends from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, from
00:16:12Baku, our equipment in the Samara region
00:16:14is widely represented, we supplied trams and
00:16:18trolleybuses there, our modern trolleybuses are running
00:16:21in the city of Tolyatti, here in Samara, this modern
00:16:25model, the modern Algiers model, is not yet represented,
00:16:29and so that they could evaluate it,
00:16:32test it, try it, yes, that is, we
00:16:35worked out such an... agreement, new
00:16:38member countries, Iran and Cambodia. Foreign partners
00:16:42showed their novelties and held negotiations on
00:16:44cooperation. And the main event was the plenary session with
00:16:48the participation of the heads of governments of the EU countries.
00:16:51They discussed how to develop Eurasian industrial
00:16:54partnership, unite production chains,
00:16:57launch joint high-tech
00:17:00projects. Other sessions of the business program were dedicated
00:17:03to industrial cooperation between regions. Systemic
00:17:06export. Personnel in the industry and adaptation of the labor market to
00:17:10current
00:17:10realities.
00:17:16Uzbekistan hosted an inter-parliamentary forum in ancient
00:17:19Khiva, with a delegation led by the chairperson of the Council of the Republic, Natalya
00:17:23Kochanova. Belarus is aimed at expanding cooperation with
00:17:26Uzbekistan in all areas. This was stated by President Alexander
00:17:30Lukashenka in his greetings to the forum participants. The head of state also
00:17:34noted the symbolism of the choice of venue for the event. In
00:17:37the city, centuries-old traditions and the creative
00:17:41energy of modernity intertwine. An open dialogue with legislators
00:17:44of Belarus and Uzbekistan will allow to harmonize the regulatory and legal
00:17:48framework of the two countries, develop initiatives aimed at
00:17:52deepening political, economic and humanitarian
00:17:55ties, emphasized the head of state. Inter-parliamentary
00:17:59dialogue leads to concrete economic results, to the signing of
00:18:02a ready package of documents designed to give impetus to joint
00:18:06projects.
00:18:39have excellent human
00:18:42relations with each other, and through these human relations,
00:18:46relations are built both between the heads of states, and
00:18:49accordingly, between the government and parliaments, as you
00:18:53said, and business, of course, understands
00:18:56that the tasks that the president sets are quite
00:18:59ambitious, quite serious, but these
00:19:02tasks fit very well with the understanding
00:19:06and capabilities of business.
00:19:15Uzbekistan, and of course, first of all, we are talking about those
00:19:18projects that we see, that we are
00:19:21implementing here today, about those projects
00:19:24that we would like to see here, and
00:19:27accordingly, our presence as it is today and as we
00:19:31see it in some short-term perspective. In what
00:19:35assortment is Belarusian production represented on the market
00:19:38of Uzbekistan?
00:19:41Well, we can rightfully be proud that there is probably
00:19:44not a single branch of our national economy
00:19:47that would not be represented here in Uzbekistan. Yes,
00:19:51some are represented, perhaps, as fully
00:19:54as possible. Well, first of all, this is, of course, our agriculture
00:19:58and processing industry, that
00:20:01is, our meat and dairy products are present
00:20:04here. They are present
00:20:07in civilized retail, in so-called retail chains, they
00:20:11are present on the market, that is, it must be honestly understood that Uzbekistan is a country
00:20:14that is still strong in selling any
00:20:18goods on the market, and even official statistics say that no
00:20:22more than 15-16% is sold in stores, everything
00:20:26else is sold on the market. Do Belarusian
00:20:29goods manage to compete?
00:20:33The question is very difficult from the point of view
00:20:36that ours...
00:20:39first of all, everyone knows about the quality of our goods,
00:20:43everyone perfectly distinguishes what a product made
00:20:46according to GOST is or a product made according to technical specifications.
00:21:21And a person living in the capital should not feel this difference in terms of
00:21:25access to services, their purchasing
00:21:28power. Here it is exactly the same. Tashkent is, of course,
00:21:32the center of Uzbekistan, of course, here is the concentration
00:21:35of business, here is the concentration of tourists, they fly here, but
00:21:38you have to understand that we sell products not only here in Tashkent, we
00:21:42sell products in the regions, in the regions it is, of course, expensive
00:21:46today, that must be frankly admitted, but...
00:21:50in terms of quality, in
00:21:52terms of the huge number of young people who
00:21:56today prevail in Uzbekistan, the average
00:21:59age is 30 years - this is a young
00:22:02country, they perfectly understand what
00:22:05today's nutrition of a young, active
00:22:09young person is, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, that is, it's both
00:22:12access to protein food and access to
00:22:15a diverse, so to speak, range of food products, multiplied by the Uzbek
00:22:20sun, vegetables and fruits, that's the component that exists,
00:22:24so, of course, we are very actively working in that direction, in order
00:22:27to ensure that the maximum number of our Belarusian brands
00:22:30are present here and not just present, but in order
00:22:34to have direct access, well, accordingly, to the Uzbek
00:22:37buyer. On what are efforts currently focused in promoting
00:22:41domestic products? Efforts are precisely focused on
00:22:44ensuring that the retail with which we interact
00:22:48moves as much as possible into the regions. That is, if in Tashkent we are very well
00:22:52known, we are both in Uzbek
00:22:55retail chains and are developing our own retail chain "Gifts of Belarus". If at
00:22:59the beginning of last year, only a few Uzbeks,
00:23:02a few Tashkent residents, knew about
00:23:05this chain, today it's 33
00:23:08stores, today it's the recognition of these thirty-three
00:23:11stores, and it's the understanding that in
00:23:15this store there's not just traditional milk,
00:23:18sour cream, bread, sausage.
00:24:20The question is probably very good and very correct. Well, first
00:24:23of all, who gets to know a country? Well, first politicians go and
00:24:27lay some foundation for interaction, although if
00:24:31there isn't such a political component,
00:24:33then citizens, by their nature, are always curious people, there are many people in
00:24:37every country who strive to learn about
00:24:40the world, so it seems to me that
00:24:44today we see this
00:24:47interest not
00:24:50Asia, only in... Belarus, we see a huge number
00:24:53of tourists from Europe, from Southeast
00:24:57from the Gulf, who come here, not only to Uzbekistan, that is,
00:25:01these are tours that cover all of Central Asia, that
00:25:04is, Central Asia, that is, today
00:25:08there is interest in this history, many
00:25:11people can say in different ways what
00:25:15kind of history it has, here there is a three-thousand-year
00:25:18history of people who. when
00:25:20I
00:25:24came here, well, I was told that the mentality
00:25:28of Uzbek citizens and Belarusian citizens is very similar, until
00:25:31you live here for some time, you won't feel it, it's the mentality,
00:25:36in fact, we are very similar, two nations that are very
00:25:39hardworking, that is, they create themselves through their
00:25:42labor, God, when he created
00:25:45the earth, well, he also did not give many useful minerals, as
00:25:48they say, to other countries,
00:27:03On October 1st, China celebrated its main national holiday, the Day of
00:27:07the Formation of the People's Republic of China. Belarusian President
00:27:10Alexander Lukashenka sent congratulations to Chinese President
00:27:13Xi Jinping. All-weather and strategic, also friendly and
00:27:17partnership-based, this is how relations between Belarus and
00:27:20China are characterized. This is a vivid example of exemplary cooperation between
00:27:23countries, aimed at joint development in accordance with
00:27:27the Shanghai Spirit. This development is reflected in a number of really working
00:27:31successful projects.
00:29:02language, also in our activities we emphasize holding
00:29:06events aimed at familiarizing Belarusian citizens with
00:29:09Chinese achievements in science and technology, and why precisely
00:29:13the emphasis on science and technology, and not on language, culture, for example?
00:29:17Historically, it so happened that the founding
00:29:20institutions are the Belarusian National Technical University, which is
00:29:23a leading technical university in our country, and the Northeastern
00:29:27University in Shenyang, which is one of the leading
00:29:30technical universities in China.
00:29:33We all clearly see that in recent years, student exchanges between
00:29:36Belarus and China have significantly grown and increased. What
00:29:40do you think attracts Chinese youth to our
00:29:43country? Chinese students, specifically
00:29:46those who participate in our events or with whom we communicate,
00:29:50note the fact that Belarus has a very strong
00:29:54engineering education, which allows them, upon arrival in
00:29:57China, to show themselves as qualified workers,
00:30:01they also note the... very good safety in
00:30:04our country, during their
00:30:07studies in Belarus, they find good friends
00:30:11and comrades among our citizens,
00:30:14well, that means that engineering personnel are valued, and
00:30:18we draw technologies from China, not
00:30:21human resources? Here we can say, 50/50,
00:30:24that is, coming here, Chinese
00:30:27students, yes, receive fundamental
00:30:31engineering education.
00:30:33But they use it within their technologies, that is,
00:30:37we lay the foundation, but
00:30:39they apply these knowledge to their production, to
00:30:43their technologies in China, that is, the training modules in
00:30:47Belarus are at a high level. Vladimir,
00:30:50interest in the scientific and educational sphere is growing year
00:30:54by year between Belarus and China, how are things now in
00:30:58this area, learning Chinese?
