The news was released by the website of the Sakhalin region government and the governor after Sakhalin region governor Oleg Kozhemyako met with State Secretary of the Union State of Belarus and Russia Grigory Rapota.
Member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia from Sakhalin region Dmitry Mezentsev and Chairman of the Board of Directors of OOO East Mining Company Oleg Misevra also took part in the meeting. Close attention was paid to ways of improving manufacturing ties and the transport system in Sakhalin’s mining industry using cutting-edge Belarusian technologies.
After the meeting Dmitry Mezentsev said: “The meeting once again confirmed the strong interest of our Belarusian colleagues in partnership with Sakhalin. Proposals to improve coal mining and transportation methods, which are being prepared in Belarus, can greatly improve the infrastructure of the island’s coal company and give a powerful impulse to the development of the coal mining industry in the region as a whole. We are talking about a brand new level of cooperation between the two sides.” (BelTA/Ukrainian metal)
