The Belarusian delegation carried out active work at the Eastern Economic Forum to develop cooperation. The main emphasis is on projects in the economic sector. The forum became a platform for solving practical problems. The meeting participants set the priority goal of speeding up work in the area of import substitution. The work done earlier in this direction is already producing tangible results: according to results of six months, the trade turnover between Belarus and the Primorie Territory almost reached the level of the entire 2022 year. In bilateral relations with Russia, Belarus traditionally pays special attention to cooperation with the regions.
