“I ask Roskosmos to provide the necessary training and flight on a Russian spacecraft for representatives of Belarus,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to Putin, the relevant issue has already been discussed with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
“I am sure that this will become a new important milestone in our cooperation in the exploration and study of outer space,” the Russian leader emphasized.
Earlier it was reported about Putin's arrival in Blagoveshchensk, where he, together with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, will get acquainted with the progress of work at the Vostochny cosmodrome.
Following the results of subsequent talks between the presidents, a joint press conference is planned.
