Novosibirsk Region of Russia is interested in selling nuclear fuel to Belarus, said Novosibirsk Region Governor Vasily Yurchenko as he met with Vice Premier of Belarus Siarhiej Rumas in Minsk on 30 May.
Vasily Yurchenko said, “We are capable of supplying more conventional products and new ones. We would like to get a decision made so that Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant should be the basic supplier of fuel for the nuclear power plant that you have started building in Belarus.” The enterprise supplies fuel to many power plants. “We would like these products to work for the benefit of the Belarusian economy, too,” said the Governor.
The Vice Premier of Belarus Siarhiej Rumas remarked, the arrival of the Novosibirsk Region delegation to Minsk on the eve of President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s visit was symbolical. “During the first foreign visit of the President of Russia to Belarus the entire range of bilateral cooperation matters will be discussed and priorities in our relations will be determined,” remarked the Vice Premier.
