Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich held talks with Vitaly Markelov, deputy chairman of the board of JSC Gazprom, the government press service told Belta.

The parties finalized agreements on building a natural gas liquefaction complex in Belarus.

Operating LNG-powered equipment represents a new phase in the development of Belarusian machine building, allowing not only the expansion of export-oriented innovative equipment for alternative fuels but also the stimulation of gas-powered machinery use in the Union State.

The parties noted the high readiness of interested business entities to implement the project. It covers the entire cycle from LNG production to the operation of Belarusian gas-powered BELAZ trucks and will become a landmark link in Belarus‑Russia production cooperation.
