“Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has approved a draft intergovernmental agreement with Russia on the implementation of a program of military-technical cooperation between the two countries until 2025 as the basis for negotiations,” Lukashenka’s press service said in a statement.

This program, among other things, involves work on the creation of new types of weapons.

Earlier, Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko, in an interview with Belarus 1 TV channel, announced a significant reduction in barriers to trade with Russia in two years.
