Two Belarusian trade and logistics centers to be built in Moscow province
Two Belarusian trade and logistics centers will be built in the Moscow province, Prime Minister Syarhey Sidorski told reporters in Moscow on July 30 after his meeting with Boris Gromov, governor of the province.
The centers will be located in the cities of Odintsovo and Ramenskoye.
Mr. Sidorski said that the important agreements reached in September 2006 during Days of Belarus in the Moscow province had given a new impetus to the development of bilateral economic relations. Trade between Belarus and the Moscow province reportedly rose 38 percent in the first six months of 2007. "The dynamics are very good," Mr. Sidorski said.
Mr. Gromov said that Belarus was the "closest country" for the Moscow province. "It is unmatched in terms of growth pace or volume of trade," he noted, adding that Belarus had made some very interesting proposals regarding cooperation in the construction sector.//BelaPAN
