The head of the REC Nikishina participated in Mishustin’s visit to Belarus and visited the Innoprom Belarus exhibition

MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. REC General Director Veronika Nikishina took part in the visit of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to Belarus, the Russian Export Center (REC, VEB Group) reports.

“General Director of the Russian Export Center Veronika Nikishina joined the Russian delegation during the working visit of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin to the Republic of Belarus. The visit took place on October 1,” the press release says.

A meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Union State was held at the Government House of the Republic of Belarus.

The Russian delegation included representatives of the government of the Russian Federation, relevant ministries and departments, as well as the General Director of the REC.

As part of the visit, Mikhail Mishustin and Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Turchin jointly inspected the Innoprom Belarus exhibition, which runs from September 30 to October 2 at the Minsk International Exhibition Center BELEXPO. The heads of government of the two countries visited the collective stand “Made in Russia”, organized by the Russian Export Center.

The “Made in Russia” stand presents the products of Russian companies and is part of the systematic work of the REC to promote domestic goods to foreign markets. The Russian Export Center provides co-financing of costs for renting exhibition space, information promotion and attracting potential foreign buyers. In addition, the center covers part of the costs of Russian participants for construction, organizing the delivery of exhibition samples, including their customs clearance and insurance.

“Here Innoprom acts as a working platform, and not as a showcase. We are participating in the exhibition for the first time and brought 24 Russian companies, and in the summer 21 more companies participated in BelAgro. Russian business comes here for specific contracts. Exhibitions help show products to buyers and immediately discuss cooperation, and REC gives exporters such an opportunity. Foreign guests of the exhibition are a pleasant bonus, but the main task is negotiations with Belarusian factories and customers, and that is precisely these negotiations are the key goal of REC’s participation in the exhibition,” emphasized Veronika Nikishina.
