Belarus and Russia's Tatarstan region sign new trade and cooperation agreements

Belarus and Russia's Republic of Tatarstan have signed a new cooperation plan for 2026-2027 and outlined joint agricultural projects. Officials, including Belarusian official Karankevich, said they aim to increase annual trade between the two sides to $1.5-2 billion.

Separately, Belarus presented a new graphical symbol for its national currency, the Belarusian ruble, in the capital city of Minsk. A flight from Moscow to Minsk was also canceled due to restrictions at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
