"The cooperation agreement with colleagues from the Republic of Belarus is to continue the work already begun with this country. We have prepared investment proposals for the region and, together with our colleagues, through the National Association of Investment and Development Agencies, we are distributing them to Belarusian companies, and we are working on a large investment project as part of the government team to create a terminal in the Murmansk region. Cooperation in the field of investment development with colleagues from the National Investment Agency is the next logical stage of activity," said Artyom Kuksa.
In particular, within the framework of the concluded agreement, the Murmansk Region Development Corporation plans to share its experience in implementing infrastructure projects on a regular basis through the mechanism of public-private partnership.
"The Murmansk Region has accumulated extensive practical experience in the implementation of infrastructure projects through the PPP mechanism in various fields, our PPP initiatives overlap with already implemented projects in the Murmansk region. Therefore, the experience of our colleagues is valuable to us," Dmitry Krasovsky said.
At the moment, several PPP projects are being implemented in the Murmansk Region, including waste recycling, construction of an aquapark, and modernization of heat supply systems.
