Lukashenko insists on retaining key export markets despite challenges

MINSK, 30 October (BelTA) – Belarusian exporters have to fight for their customer on key markets despite the difficult situation, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the meeting on developing cooperation with African countries in Minsk on 30 October, BelTA has learned.

“The situation on our key [export] markets is now challenging. We will not leave them under any circumstances and will fight for our customers. However, enterprises and industries can no longer use excuses that everything has been contracted, that Russia offers a better price and so on,” the head of state pointed out. “It is necessary to break out into geographically distant markets and work there. It is a serious task for today and beyond.”

The head of state instructed executives to ensure the utilization of production capacities, jobs and salaries for people despite the existing difficulties. “Precisely in difficult situations!” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
