The great potential of cooperation between Vitebsk region and Great Britain is based on the strategically important position of the northern region - it is the only one in Belarus that has common borders with the European Union and Russia. 
It is important to take this into account when building relations with English partners in the post-Brexit situation. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Belarus Jacqueline Perkins drew attention to these aspects of the bilateral cooperation during a working meeting with Oleg Matskevich, First Deputy Chairman of the regional Executive Committee.
