Belarus sees the cooperation with Russia as dynamically developing, Mikhail Myasnikovich said. “But life never stands still, and we need new approaches. I think today we will discuss them. This primarily concerns joint projects, new areas, including in high technology. We will also examine the current issues which were worked out by our ministers and experts and require approval from the heads of government,” Belarusian Premier said.
