K. Chorny: Vitebsk Region Geographical Location is Beneficial for Investments

The common border with the European Union and Russia, as well as the intersection of transportation corridors East - West and North - South give Vitebsk certain investment advantages, Vitebsk regional executive committee representative said on October 18 in Minsk.

The common border with the European Union and Russia, as well as the intersection of transportation corridors East - West and North - South give Vitebsk certain investment advantages, Vitebsk regional executive committee representative said on October 18 in Minsk.

"Like most regions of Belarus, first of all we want to present (during the 3rd Belarus Investment Forum in Frankfurt-am-Main, note by Soyuz.by) the possibility of organizing transport and logistics centers, diagramming delivery, transporting goods and passengers through our territory"- Konstantin Chorny the deputy chairman of the Vitebsk regional executive committee said.

"Vitebsk borders with the European Union: Lithuania, Latvia, we border with Russian Federation, which was and remains one of the most attractive markets for the European campaign – K. Chorny said. - Vitebsk is located at the crossroads of major highways: Warsaw - Moscow and St. Petersburg - Odessa. All of this gives definite benefits for the Vitebsk region, K. Chorny said.

In addition, according to K. Chorny, in the Vitebsk oblast current and projected facilities, unlike in Latvia or Poland, are being adapted to the existing infrastructure. "We have a complex site which facilitates the work of train, car and air transport - he stressed. - We already have investors who are working in this direction, estimating future possible investments, building their logistics."

Moreover K. Chorny emphasized that it is absolutely private investment, the state does not invest a single penny. "Our business is to create an atmosphere of luxury, comfort and reliability for this investor, so that he would feel sure, know what doors to knock, where to get help or answer to any question."

Referring to the participation of the Vitebsk Region in the upcoming investment forum, K. Chorny reported that the first investment project, which will represent the region is transport and logistics corridor "Vitebsk". "We have two components. One is Orsha on the basis of Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant. This enterprise is of republican subordination, once there was a large airdrome; now there is a large production base for receiving, processing and maintenance of aircraft of different levels - said K. Chorny. We should not forget the international airport in the city of Vitebsk itself, although it doesn’t quite meet those functions that we would like it to have, first of all because the airport is passenger-oriented, we also want to see it as a cargo terminal."
