"This will help expand operations, meet the domestic demand and promote products on the third markets," Alexander Turchin said.

In his words, this matter was discussed during a meeting in reduced format on 26 November. The parties agreed on how to proceed with this matter. "We see a clear way forward," the first vice premier said.

In January-September 2018, Belarus-Kazakhstan trade expanded by 42.6% over the same period last year to make $693.8 million. "We expect our trade to reach $1 billion by the yearend. This is a good figure, but I should admit that it falls behind our economic potential," Alexander Turchin said.
