On September 20, 2024, at the IV Eurasian Women’s Forum, a Memorandum of Understanding was solemnly signed between the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance and the public association “Belarusian Union of Women” on the establishment of the BRICS WBA Regional Office in the Republic of Belarus.
The document was signed by Anna Nesterova, Global Chairperson of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance, and Olga Shpilevskaya, Chairperson of the public association “Belarusian Union of Women”.
Anna Nesterova emphasized that there is a request from serious women entrepreneurs who want to join the business track of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance: “And it is very important for us that these women came to today’s Forum. They were at the BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum this June. They are actively involved in all our projects. These are the things that should form the basis for signing documents. It is important not just to sign documents, but to carry out serious preparatory work before signing. This is the basis for formal documentation, for cementing business partnerships.”
In turn, Olga Shpilevskaya also noted the importance of launching the BRICS WBA Regional Office: “Today, an important historical event took place for us – we signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance and the Belarusian Union of Women. We took the first step to establish a regional BRICS WBA office in the Republic of Belarus. This is important for us, because entrepreneurship is developing very actively in our country. The Regional Office Office will become a new platform for the development of women’s entrepreneurship, will open up new opportunities for our women. I am sure that this will soon be marked by specific figures.”
The launch of the Regional Office of the BRICS Women’s Business Alliance will have a significant impact on the development of business cooperation between entrepreneurs of Belarus and the BRICS countries.
