Moscow, Government Situation Center, September 19, 2025

NEGLINKA FINANCE took part in the business forum “Minsk and Moscow: A New Driver of Development”, held on September 19 at the Moscow Government Situation Center as part of the Days of Minsk in the Russian capital.

The event brought together representatives of government bodies, business communities, industry, financial institutions, IT companies, and export-oriented enterprises from the two capitals. The forum became an important platform for discussing practical steps to strengthen economic cooperation between Moscow and Minsk.

Key Statements and Directions

Opening the plenary session, Sergey Nabeshko, General Director of the Minsk branch of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, highlighted the importance of expanding cooperation and identifying new growth points in relations between the two capitals.

Vladimir Kukharev, Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee, emphasized that Minsk and Moscow should take leading positions in Union State integration and set the tone for interregional cooperation.

Sergey Glazyev, State Secretary of the Union State, stated that almost half of mutual trade between Russia and Belarus is accounted for by the capitals. According to him, the key driver of further growth will be industrial and technological cooperation, including in the areas of digitalization and “smart cities.” A project for a high-speed railway line between Moscow and Minsk is under discussion.

Sergey Cheryomin, Minister of the Moscow Government, reported that in 2024 a record volume of foreign trade between the two capitals was achieved — about USD 3 billion. He also spoke about Moscow’s active procurement of Belarusian-made equipment, cooperation in education (in particular, Minsk’s interest in the “Moscow Electronic School” model), and business support tools, including more than 150 programs ranging from tax incentives to startup subsidies.

Vladimir Platonov, President of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stressed in his speech that in the context of Union State integration, such forums are especially important for exchanging practices, technological solutions, and building business chains.

Presented Solutions and Initiatives

Within the forum, the following key sectoral and infrastructure initiatives were presented:

• Trade and cooperation platform “Moscow–Minsk” (State Enterprise Center for Identification Systems)
• Municipal equipment of the AMKODOR holding
• Technological products of Moscow-based PАО IVA
• Industrial parks and the Great Stone Special Economic Zone
• Financial instruments of SberBank and the Development Bank of the Republic of Belarus
• Information and cultural project of the Big Asia TV channel for Belarusian audiences

The forum also hosted a ceremony for signing bilateral agreements and contracts between businesses and relevant government bodies. It continued in the B2B negotiation format, in which NEGLINKA FINANCE took an active part.

The NEGLINKA FINANCE team used the forum as a platform to establish new business contacts, discuss mechanisms for localizing financial solutions, and analyze opportunities for entering the Belarusian market in the context of expanding Union State regulation and industrial cooperation.

The forum confirmed the high level of interest in cross-border financing instruments, digital services in logistics and foreign economic activity, as well as in joint projects in regional development.

NEGLINKA FINANCE expresses gratitude to the organizers of the forum for the high-quality business program and will continue to develop business ties within the Union State cooperation format between Russia and Belarus.
