Lukashenko on Belarusian products

Lukashenko stated that Belarus produces more than half of the goods that can be consumed in the domestic market and is ready to export the surplus. He noted that the country is an engineering hub with significant agricultural resources, capable of meeting Kazakhstan's needs, with which Belarus has a long historical connection. According to the leader, Belarus 'knows Kazakhstan very well' since Soviet times. This highlights the strengthening of cooperation between Belarus and Kazakhstan within the Eurasian Economic Union, where active trade and investment interactions are already underway.

Context
