MINSK, 6 October (BelTA) – Belarus is eager to implement print media and information projects with Saint Petersburg, Belarusian Information Minister Lilia Ananich said at a roundtable event in Minsk on 6 October, BelTA has learned.
“Exchange of practices among professionals is important for the development of the industry, and we have something to learn from each other. We need to establish close cooperation in the promotion of books, films, TV programs, and management of news content,” Lilia Ananich said.
She believes that organization of meetings for writers from Belarus and Saint Petersburg is an important cooperation avenue. She suggested that Writers' Bookstore (Knizhnaya Lavka Pisatelei), one of the oldest bookstores in Russia's northern capital that already offers books by Belarusian writers, can be a good platform for dialogue. Writers have been invited to present their books there.
Lilia Ananich invited Russian publishers to attend the Minsk Book Fair in February 2017, and also events to be held to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Belarusian book printing.
