Russia, Belarus to work out new union programmes

ZASLAVL-2, outside MINSK, October 6 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia and Belarus plan to work out new union programmes.

Those will include "such a promising field as nano-technologies", Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday after a meeting of the Union State's Council of Ministers.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has spoken highly of the recent parliamentary elections in Belarus.

"According to our estimates, the elections in Belarus were held at a very high organizational and political level. The returns indicate that your policy enjoys the people's support," Putin said at a meeting with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko on Monday.

Putin said that Russia, as before, was prepared to consider "the question of wider financial cooperation and of supporting the Belarussian financial system, if need be."
