He made the statement at the nationwide seminar to discuss the improvement and development of the Belarusian housing and utility sector on 20 October, BelTA informs.

The head of state said that urban improvement and beautification will be in the center of attention in 2018. “It is needed to determine 20-30 such towns, and I am going to visit them. All of us should visit them,” Alexander Lukashenko said. “It is a must to beautify towns and villages. You are living there, your people and children are living there.”

The president explained his requirements to the beautification process. In particular, he spoke about the planting of trees along roads. In his words, it is essential to plant trees not only to beautify towns but also to ensure the rational use of resources.
