"We want to work together with Belarusian scientists. We know that mechanical engineering and agriculture are very well developed in Belarus. I think we can work together in these areas. We don't have many joint projects yet, but I think we can find more common ground. There are projects in the field of physics, deriving substances from plants for the production of medicines. While we are jointly developing these areas, I think we will find others," Avid Budeebazar noted.
