Economic ties between Elektrostal and Polotsk will develop thanks to the EEA - head of the Russian city

May 26, Polotsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Economic ties between the Russian city of Elektrostal and the Belarusian city of Polotsk will grow thanks to the Single Economic Space. This opinion was expressed in an interview with a BELTA correspondent by the head of the urban district of Elektrostal, Andrey Sukhanov, who heads the Russian city's delegation at the anniversary celebrations in Polotsk. Elektrostal and Polotsk have maintained constant contacts in both humanitarian and economic spheres for over 15 years. "Elektrostal has many sister cities, but Polotsk stands out in this regard because the Belarusian people are the closest and dearest to Russians. People are friends, communicate, and seek economic ties," said the head of the city. The economic integration of Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan has significantly simplified contacts between enterprises in Polotsk and Elektrostal. For example, dairy products for Elektrostal schools are purchased from the Polotsk Dairy Plant. "Previously, we had to overcome many formalities, but now the supply process has been significantly simplified thanks to the removal of customs barriers," stated Andrey Sukhanov. He is convinced that economic contacts between the two partner cities will only develop. Delegations from 16 partner cities arrived at the celebrations in honor of Polotsk's anniversary. They will not only be spectators of the festive events but also participants - the delegations brought their own creative groups, which prepared congratulations for the jubilee city. -0-
