Talks with Belarus on providing it with financial assistance are planned to resume April 14, the Finance Ministry said on its web site Tuesday.
The two sides continued negotiations in Moscow on April 11 to determine economic policies Belarus might implement in the "medium term," according to the statement.
Belarus, which last month made the first coupon payment on its debut bonds in Russian rubles, expected in the "near future" to complete talks with Russia and other former Soviet partners on a $3 billion bailout loan, the Belarussian Finance Ministry said March 31.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
