Russian TV channel "Vesti" showed a story about Lukashenko son's visit to the Kuzbass. Oligarch Yuri Chizh was with him.
Dmitri Lukashenko and businessman Yuri Chizh headed the Belarusian delegation and visited Kemerovo region of Russia. During the visit the sides discussed prospects of cooperation in the field of heavy industry, in particular, the production of Belarusian dump trucks in Russia. During the visit the heads of the Belarusian delegation also personally tested BelAZ trucks.
"A week ago I was in the Bialowieza Forest. I saw our Belarusian bison. And now I feel like I’ve just bestridden a bison after driving BelAZ. This can’t be compared with Lexus, or anything else," said Yuri Chizh in an interview to the edition "Moy gorod."
"I feel like I’m in Belarus. Such a scale! I hope for regular supplies of BelAZ in this region, which will benefit not only the land of Kuzbass, but Belarus, as well," said Dmitri Lukashenko, reports "Vesti-Kuzbass."
"Actually, I want to say that everything here is of high quality. I think this line will continue and will turn into a good quality product," he said.
Earlier in April, delegation from Kemerovo region, headed by deputy governor Valentin Mazikin, visited Minsk. Then, the parties agreed to establish a line for the production of BelAZ in the Kuzbass, which today makes the body for the Belarusian trucks.
