Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Japarov expressed admiration for the results of the allied partnership between Russia and Belarus in the field of science and technology. He said this in Yekaterinburg at the International Exhibition Innomprom-2024.
He noted that in the conditions of global instability and economic challenges, this cooperation demonstrates impressive results. In 2021, the governments of Russia and Belarus introduced a program of innovative development, which led to significant achievements: the share of innovative products reached 27.2 percent, and the share of new or significantly improved products amounted to 56 percent of the total volume. High-tech products make up almost 40 percent of Belarus’ exports.
According to him, the strategic partnership within the framework of union integration is confirmed by the successful implementation of more than sixty programs of the union state, where scientific potentials of Russia and Belarus harmoniously complement each other.
Akylbek Japarov also mentioned the program Esbert Technology, under which more than sixty experimental space samples, including sensors of physical values and laser technologies, were created. The program SKIF-NEDRA allowed to reduce the costs of geological exploration by 20 percent as a result of reduction of dependence on foreign software.
According to him, Belarusian scientists are working on a project in the field of nuclear medicine together with Rosatom state corporation. It is planned to create new technological processes and master the production of new products of electronic component base in the field of microelectronics.
The head of the Cabinet reminded that the Supreme State Council approved the strategy of scientific and technological development until 2035. In addition, 26 investment import-substituting projects have been agreed for implementation in Belarus with a total cost of more than 160 billion Russian rubles. For example, it is planned to complete the production of shafts and gears by 2025, and by 2027 — to launch the production of light multipurpose vehicles.
Akylbek Japarov emphasized that the allied partnership between Russia and Belarus continues to yield significant results in the field of innovation and technology, strengthening the positions of both countries on the world stage.
