BELAZ has become one of the central and most visited industrial venues at the 13th Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia. This major international event, dedicated to strengthening bilateral cooperation, is being hosted by Minsk and Minsk Region on June 25–26.

On June 24, just prior to the opening of the 13th Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia, hosted by Minsk and Minsk Region, was held a ceremony to sign agreements between BELAZ and partners from St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Novotroitsk.
