Vitebsk region and Russian regions are intensifying cooperation at the city and district level

"Over the past 3-4 months, more than 20 agreements have been concluded between self-government and management bodies of the Vitebsk region and Russian regions, primarily the Pskov, Smolensk, and Tver regions. Currently, ties between districts and cities are mainly being established," said Vladimir Terentyev. He also noted that the signing of several more cooperation documents between districts of neighboring countries is expected in the very near future.

"We are moving towards a closer level of interregional cooperation with Russia. By the governor's order, a working group will be created to interact with Russian regions. We will clearly outline the prospects and purposefully move towards their implementation," emphasized the chairman of the regional council.

He also reported that following the trip to Tver, an agreement was reached on signing contracts for the supply of Vitebsk products. This includes bakery and confectionery products, dairy products, dry cereals, etc. "Next week, contracts will be signed between specific economic entities of our regions," stated Vladimir Terentyev.

The delegation, headed by Vladimir Terentyev, included deputies of the regional council and heads of enterprises. They visited the agroholding "Dmitrova Gora" and a number of food industry enterprises. In Tver, a protocol on joint actions for the implementation of the cooperation agreement between the Vitebsk Regional Council of Deputies and the Legislative Assembly of the Tver Region was signed.
