      Society On 13 August in Slonim, as part of the IV Congress of Small Towns of the Grodno Region of the Republic of Belarus and the Nizhny Novgorod Region of the Russian Federation, a session of the "Economy" section was held. The Congress events are attended by the Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Evgeny Lyulin and regional parliament deputies Igor Norenkov, Vladimir Bespalov, Vladimir Pakov, Maxim Rebrov, Solomon Apoyan and Alexey Stepanov.

      Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Evgeny Lyulin emphasized the importance of cooperation with Belarusian partners. "Our regions are demonstrating steady growth in cooperation in industry, agriculture and innovative sectors. It is especially valuable that enterprises are not only increasing trade turnover, but also implementing joint projects. This creates a foundation for long-term partnership and technological development," the speaker of the regional parliament said.

      Within the section, representatives of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the Republic of Belarus discussed key areas of partnership, including industrial cooperation, investment projects and the development of trade ties. Participants noted successful interaction in mechanical engineering, including supplies of components for automotive enterprises of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, as well as joint production of trams and electric buses. Projects in the fields of machine-tool building, shipbuilding and the chemical industry drew particular interest.

      In 2024, trade turnover between the regions showed growth in key positions: supplies of electrical equipment increased by 110%, aluminum by 149%, and timber by 87%. Sixteen machine-tool enterprises operate in the Nizhny Novgorod Region; they actively cooperate with Belarusian partners, and a joint Russian-Belarusian production "Krasny Borets – Rus" has been created. Dealer centers of Belarusian equipment manufacturers such as Minsk Tractor Plant and Gomselmash operate in the region.

      The section discussed new directions for cooperation in shipbuilding and the biochemical industry. The issue of creating a Belarusian trade house in Nizhny Novgorod is also being worked out so that residents of Nizhny Novgorod can purchase goods from the Republic of Belarus in one place.

      "The key mechanism for successfully overcoming the objective difficulties faced by our countries should be cooperation in the development of science-intensive products. At the same time, the formation of a single scientific and technological space will to a large extent stimulate the production of such products and ensure the global competitiveness and security of the Union State," noted Igor Norenkov, chairman of the Legislative Assembly committee on economy, industry, support of entrepreneurship, trade and tourism.
