In the released public opening, Alexander Lukashenko welcomes Andrey Vorobyov to Belarus and says Moscow Oblast ranks first among its Russian regional trading partners. He refers to trade turnover above 15 billion without naming a currency or measurement year in this excerpt, and offers to work together wherever Belarus can help.

The excerpt establishes their statements and assessments, without announcing a signed agreement, completed MAZ expansion or a separately dated children's visit.
