Lukashenko identifies what accomplishment of national democracy he feels great pride about
MINSK, 24 April (BelTA) – In his speech at a session of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko revealed what accomplishment of national democracy he feels the greatest pride about, BelTA has learned.
“Whoever people in this chamber may be, wherever they may work, there is no distance between us. All of us have one status: participants of the Belarusian People’s Congress. Delegates and invitees. And I feel the greatest pride about this accomplishment of national democracy,” the head of state said.
He stressed that Belarusians are proud of the experience of strategic planning that they had accumulated: for nearly 30 years the Belarusian People’s Congress has been a factor shaping Belarus’ state system to a large degree.
“Frankly speaking, the first Belarusian People’s Congress saved our country,” the president stressed.
All the five-year-long social and economic development programs were realized only after they were approved by delegates of the congress. “Time has come to advance to new heights and we’ve done that,” the Belarusian leader said.
