Prime Minister of Belarus Alexander Turchin at a meeting with State Secretary of the Union State Sergey Glazyev discussed the agenda of the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Union State, which will be held on October 1 in Minsk, the correspondent of sb.by reports.

- For the second time during the year, we are holding a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers, which, of course, may indicate an increase in all integration processes. The agenda was formed - 15 issues. One of the key topics is the implementation of the main directions for the implementation of the provisions of the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State for 2024-2026 and the preparation of a draft document for the next period. Therefore, of course, it is necessary to carefully consider the documents, because we will have to report them to the heads of our states at the meeting of the Supreme Council.

The Prime Minister stressed that the results over the three-year period are visible. In the macroeconomic sphere, a forecast for the socio-economic development of the Union State until 2028 has been developed and agreed upon.

- We see the impact of our integration. In the industrial sphere, it was decided to give the products of Russian and Belarusian manufacturers the status of “goods of the Union State”. A collegial body was created that organizes and coordinates activities in the field of quality assurance of products - the Committee for Standardization and Quality of the Union State. Significant work has been done in the transport sector. This is the alignment of tariffs for the transportation of mineral and construction goods by rail, and the launch of cross-border suburban railway communication. An agreement was signed between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation on the formation of a unified electricity market of the Union State, Alexander Turchin said.

- There is a lot to work on in December to report to our presidents that the vast majority of plans have been fulfilled.

One of the key topics in the Union State is ensuring equal rights of citizens of Belarus and Russia. It is under special control of the Chairman of the VCS Alexander Lukashenko.

I am sure that with your help, what we have not yet done, we will certainly implement everything. I am ready to discuss topical issues, maybe some problems remain unresolved, the Prime Minister addressed Sergey Glazyev.
