MINSK, 28 November (BelTA) – Belarus’ Minsk and Russia’s Vladivostok are considering an opportunity to launch direct flights, Governor of Russia’s Primorye Territory Oleg Kozhemyako told media after his meeting with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in Minsk on 28 November, BelTA has learned.

“We talked about the possibility of launching a direct flight from Vladivostok to Minsk and from Minsk to Vladivostok. It would be interesting for many people. There is a lot to see here - Minsk, Brest Fortress, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Grodno,” the head of the region said.

Belarusians would also be interested to visit the Far East and appreciate the beauty of the sea, the coastal land, the taiga and the tigers. In addition, it is convenient to travel further to Thailand, Myanmar and other countries of Southeast Asia from there. If there is a direct flight connection, it would also be easier to organize recreation for children from Primorye in Belarusian resorts and camps, said Oleg Kozhemyako.

“It seems to me that this direction requires more global elaboration so that we can communicate directly,” he concluded.
