Report of Belarus’ Ambassador to Russia Dmitry Krutoi

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Belarus’ Ambassador to Russia Dmitry Krutoi to receive his report on 3 October.

Following the government meeting to discuss the export of Belarusian goods, and potash fertilizers, in particular, the head of state held a meeting with Belarusian Ambassador to Russia Dmitry Krutoi. The report included issues related to the Belarusian exports to Russia and the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the two Presidents.

“What issues deserve, from your point of view, attention at the highest level here? This is important given the upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in just a week and a half,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

Plans are in place to set up a commission in Belarus to monitor exports to Russia. The commission will be headed by Dmitry Krutoi. The head of state is expected to sign the corresponding decree in the near future.

“Give yourself the necessary powers,” the President said. “Of course, this will be an extra workload for your staff. I think you will be able to find people who are underutilized or who can handle a larger amount of work. You can involve ministers, the government apparatus, if you need,” the head of state said.
