The head of state proposed to actively involve Belarusian enterprises in the work, stressing the availability of the necessary base and school
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko confirmed Minsk’s interest in joint development of aircraft industry with Russia. The head of state said this at a meeting with the governor of the Ulyanovsk region Alexei Russky, the press service of the Belarusian leader reports.
As an example of successful industrial cooperation in recent years, the head of state cited the aviation industry. He recalled that in Ulyanovsk there is a plant "Aviastar" - one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Russia.
Aleksandr Lukashenko has proposed more active connection of Belarusian plants to production chains.
“You should bring us closer to the aircraft industry. There's a base, a school. Help with the technological equipment, we will be good assistants for you. We won’t make a plane, you have to make it. But slowly connect to those areas where we can do something for you, the President said.
Earlier, the parties reported on plans to create a joint Russian-Belarusian aircraft Osway, a prototype of which is expected next year.
