Belarus suggests measures to Russia to stimulate transport, logistics business

MINSK, 24 May (BelTA) – During expanded negotiations with President of Russia Vladimir Putin in the Palace of Independence in Minsk on 24 May Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko suggested taking joint measures to stimulate the spheres of transport and logistics, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that a lot had been done in matters concerning transport and logistics, but needs of enterprises grow day by day. This is why more serious investments are needed into the development of railway infrastructure, renewal of the rolling stock, increasing the transportation capacity, and financial support for air carriers.

“Measures are needed to increase the workload of Belarusian and Russian airports. Joint projects are needed to make communication between our regions simpler and more affordable. Although quite a lot has been done recently,” he stated.
