OREANDA-NEWS  Russia and Belarus have many interesting areas for cooperation in the field of industrial cooperation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

"We have very close relations (between Russia and Belarus - ed.), interstate. And we have a good personal relationship, but it may not be that important. The important thing is that the result of our joint work is obvious. I've already said that. From the point of view of economic growth and even the improvement of the structure of the economy, we are still doing a lot, and it is being done quite effectively. And there are a lot of interesting areas in the field of cooperation, primarily industrial cooperation," Putin said at a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Beijing.
