Russian, Belarusian premiers discuss trade, economic cooperation

NOVO-OGARYOVO, October 6 (Itar-Tass) -- The Russian and Belarusian prime ministers continue negotiations in Novo-Ogaryovo, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"The prime ministers of Russia and Belarus continue to discuss bilateral trade and economic cooperation, including transport, energy, space and common customs," he said.

In his words, the negotiations that started between two national delegations eventually developed into a one-to-one meeting.

Belarus said it planned to discuss the possibility of a $500 million loan. Russian Vice-Premier and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said on Monday that Russia did not plan to grant further loans to Belarus. "We are not considering further crediting of Belarus so far," he said.

Russia issued two credit tranches worth of $1.5 billion to Belarus earlier.
