Belarus is strengthening ties with Russian regions. Trade turnover with the Kostroma region is growing. A delegation from this region visited Belarus. The parties discussed further joint steps at a meeting of the working group. Belarus is already actively supplying mechanical engineering, metalworking and petrochemical products to the Kostroma region. Now the guests expressed great interest in Belarusian municipal and passenger equipment. But this is only part of the agreements.
