This demonstrates the openness to the arrival of international business and positively affects the investment image of Belarus,” said Acting Director of NAIP Sergey Vaganov. “At the moment, the organizers have already approved the main directions of the forum program. Particular attention will be paid to the possibility of Belarus to move from a “catch-up development” strategy to a “harmonious integration into international value chains” strategy by generating an FDI flow into the country.”
