Opinion: Belarus’ Gomel Oblast, Russia’s Bryansk Oblast need to strengthen industrial cooperation
GOMEL, 15 April (BelTA) - Gomel Oblast of Belarus and Bryansk Oblast of Russia need to strengthen cooperation between industrial enterprises, Gomel Oblast Governor Gennady Solovei said during a meeting with Bryansk Oblast Governor Alexander Bogomaz in the Russian region, BelTA learned from Press Secretary of the Gomel Oblast Executive Committee Olga Ryabikova.
Bryansk Oblast is a reliable friend and stable economic partner of Gomel Oblast, Gennady Solovei stressed. The governor added however that the pandemic has affected the economic results of bilateral cooperation. The mutual trade in 2020 decreased compared to 2019. “I will express a general opinion: the mutual trade figures do not correspond to the potential of the two regions. I think, first of all, we need to strengthen the cooperation of industrial enterprises of Gomel Oblast and Bryansk Oblast,” said Gennady Solovei.
He named Bryanskselmash, a joint venture with a fifteen-year history, as a good example of production cooperation. Gomelagrokomplekt has a positive experience of cooperation with Bryansk Brasovo and is ready to strengthen Russian agricultural enterprises with supplies of high-quality equipment for the development of dairy production.
“Undoubtedly, there are great prospects for the construction industry in both the regions, as evidenced by the composition of our delegation, which included the heads of the largest construction organizations of Gomel Oblast,” said the Gomel Oblast governor. He stressed that Gomel builders have already been actively constructing housing in Kaluga and Kursk regions. “Our leading design and construction organizations are ready to take part in housing construction programs, design and construction of social and cultural facilities of any complexity, including historical and monumental ones,” he added.
He considers interaction in healthcare to be promising as well. Under the agreement on scientific and practical cooperation between the National Scientific and Practical Center for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology (Gomel) and the Bryansk Oblast Department of Health, the partners exchange experience in research and practical activities, organize joint meetings and scientific forums.
“I am sure there are many more possibilities for mutually beneficial cooperation. We are ready to discuss any proposals aimed at intensifying bilateral cooperation and ensure maximum support for all mutually beneficial constructive ideas and projects,” Gennady Solovei concluded.
The visit of the Gomel Oblast delegation to Bryansk Oblast took place on 14 April. Prospects for cooperation and joint implementation of projects were also discussed during the visits to enterprises and construction sites of Bryansk Oblast.
