Belarus President emphasizes people’s role in country’s prosperity
MINSK, 7 January (BelTA) – The country’s wellbeing and economic development largely depend on the contribution of its citizens, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he attended the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Minsk to celebrate Orthodox Christmas on 7 January.
“You can rely on the state, but in the matters which the state should address: security, the main areas of our development. Try to do what you can do yourself. If everyone do their best, the state will pay back. I promise you this,” the President said.
The President stressed that everything necessary will be done for the Belarusian state to grow stronger and stay independent.
“I mentioned it in my New Year’s address. The only thing we should pay attention to today is economy. If we make headway amid the current turbulent crisis period, it will surely have its impact on the wellbeing of our people. If we make this step, it will give us confidence,” noted Alexander Lukashenko.
In his words, the previous year was difficult, especially in what concerned the relations with the neighbors and trade partners. “This restrained us from achieving the preset performance targets. But I am sure these matters are solvable,” the head of state added.
