The NAS of Belarus and Italy will develop cooperation in the field of agriculture. A round table on the development of livestock will be held at the end of February with the participation of scientists from Belarus and Italy. Such an agreement was reached on January 23, 2024 during negotiations between Chairman of the Presidium of the NAS of Belarus Vladimir Gusakov and Chairman of the Italy-Belarus Chamber of Commerce and Industry Angelo Ilardi. The Ambassador of the Italian Republic to the Republic of Belarus, Tomaso Pietro Marchegiani, took part in the negotiations.

As Vladimir Gusakov noted during the meeting, Belarus and Italy have long-standing scientific ties that have been maintained in various ways. "We are interested in supporting our scientific ties in a wide range of scientific fields. The cooperation of scientists should not be politicized," Vladimir Gusakov stressed.

In turn, Chairman of the Italy-Belarus Chamber of Commerce and Industry Angelo Ilardi noted that today it is very important to implement initiatives that can help in the development of dialogue. The round table scheduled to be held at the end of February will contribute to this. At the event, it is planned to discuss such issues as: mechanization of livestock, genetics, digitalization, saving energy resources, etc.
