Mezentsev: Russia and Belarus have learned to negotiate taking into account mutual interests

“That style of work on 28 allied programs is an important backlog and resource for us today.

We learned to negotiate quickly, learned to look at the situation realistically and face each other honestly,” he said in an interview with the ONT TV channel.

Mezentsev added that the disputes between the parties will not go away.

“But the balance of taking into account the interests of each other, the atmosphere of achieving a joint result is an important asset of today,” he stressed.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced the strengthening of the union integration of Russia and Belarus, despite external pressure from the West.

In June, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said he had reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to tightly control the process of import substitution.
