On September 8, Aisen Nikolaev, Head of Yakutia, met with Yuri Chebotar, Minister of Economy of Belarus. The parties summarized the results of the seventh meeting of the bilateral working group and discussed the implementation of previously reached agreements.
“We are focusing on expanding the supply of Belarusian equipment adapted to Yakutia’s conditions and developing direct rail logistics. We are also considering the possibility of cooperation in high technology and digital film distribution,” Aisen Nikolaev noted.
The key areas of cooperation were the supply of Belarusian equipment and the development of direct rail logistics. Yakutia is interested in BELAZ mining dump trucks, passenger, municipal, and agricultural transport. BELAZ dump trucks have received the status of “Union State Goods.”
The parties noted the efficiency of direct rail deliveries through the Yakutia Railways representative office in Minsk: the delivery time of Belarusian goods to Yakutia has been reduced to two weeks, ensuring the supply of fresh produce. Belarus is also prepared to participate in the creation of a diamond cluster in Yakutia, offering to utilize the experience of the Gomel-based company “Kristall” in gemstone processing.
Preserving shared historical memory remains a separate focus: the Gomel region is preparing to unveil a memorial sign, “Bastions of Memory,” in honor of the Yakut soldiers who died in Belarus, including Fyodor Popov, the first Sakha person to be awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
