Belarusian building companies will participate in the construction of facilities for the APEC 2012 Summit on Russky Island, off the coast of Vladivostok, according to the press service of the Far East Directorate of the Ministry for Regional Development of the Russian Federation. The negotiations on the issue are carried out with several Belarusian companies with a rich building experience, highly-qualified staff and up-to-date construction equipment.
