Lukashenko: Ten million Russians have jobs thanks to cooperation with Belarus
MINSK, 17 November (BelTA) – Ten million people in Russia have jobs thanks to the cooperation with Belarusian industrial enterprises, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at the press conference for the Russian regional mass media on 17 November.
“If the Belarusian economy comes to a halt, ten million people in Russia will lose jobs. We buy equipment parts, raw materials and other products from many Russian plants,” the Belarusian leader noted.
Russian enterprises produce 50-60% of the parts used by the Belarusian plants. “Manufacturing industry, agriculture sector give jobs to at least 10 million Russians,” Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.
The head of state said a few words about the cooperation with Russia’s Yaroslavl Oblast and noted that Belarus is ready to continue its cooperation with Tutaev Motor Plant. Engines manufactured at this enterprise are used in the production of Gomselmash grain harvesters and other vehicles. Yaroslavl Oblast imports Belarus-made food products. Cheese enjoys a special demand.
