«Recently there have been some media reports alleging that Belarus and Russia have restored the joint sales company and are set to establish a new joint venture based in Moscow.

I heard about it for the first time from these reports and I want to add only one thing – we will not establish any joint ventures headquartered in Moscow,» Alexander Lukashenko said.
At the same time the President noted that Belarus is open for talks, fist of all, with its Russian partners. «We are ready to restore our cooperation and collaborate like we used to. However, if such a company is established, it will be headquartered in Minsk. We are not going to set up any foreign companies. We have learnt our lesson the hard way,» Alexander Lukashenko said.
