The Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of Belarus and Slovakia signed a Memorandum on Cooperation during the Committee of State Control of Belarus’ visit to the Slovak Republic. The document was signed by Mr. Vladimir Kukharev, Deputy Chairman of the Committee of State Control of Belarus, and Mr. Karol Mitrik, Head of the Supreme Audit Office (SAO) of Slovakia.

According to the memorandum, the parties agreed to exchange experiences to improve external state control methodologies; cooperate on personnel professional training and development; and conduct joint research projects and control activities.
