Mikhail Mishustin held a meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Union State together with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Turchin. A number of documents were signed following the meeting.

M. Mishustin: Dear Alexander Genrikhovich (Turchin) Dear Sergey Yuryevich! (Glazyev) Dear friends, esteemed colleagues!

We see tangible benefits from Russian-Belarusian integration. Our citizens enjoy equal rights and guarantees in healthcare, education, social, and pension provision.
Our mutual trade turnover is also growing confidently. By the end of last year, it exceeded 4 trillion Russian rubles and continues to grow.
Cooperative ties are being strengthened to develop high-tech industries. We expect that the status of “Union State product,” which is now assigned to jointly produced goods, will become a universally recognized mark of quality, including in external markets.
