Perm's economy is based on industrial enterprises, united innovation clusters. Minsk also has many industrial and innovative enterprises. The agreements reached are already in operation, in particular, construction companies from Minsk have already started to appear in Perm. From April 2 a direct flight from Perm to Minsk will be launched, so tourism between our cities will develop as well," commented Eduard Khairullin.
