MINSK. KAZINFORM It is possible to involve Kazakhstan in the forum of Belarusian and Russian regions. Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus Anatoly Rubinov said during the forum on 5 June, BelTA has learned.
"The next forum should be held for regions of Belarus and Russia in Veliky Novgorod the way it is planned. Later on if Kazakhstan has nothing against it, the format should be expanded," said Anatoly Rubinov. He stressed that it will be particularly useful after the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty comes into force, BelTA reports.
In turn, Chairwoman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia Valentina Matviyenko noted that the date of the next forum in Veliky Novgorod has yet to be agreed.
Documents on cooperation between various regions of Belarus and Russia were signed in the final part of the plenary session of the forum on 5 June.
