Lukashenko to hold major meeting with scientific community in November

MINSK, 13 November (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko announced plans to hold a major meeting with the scientific community in the near future as he received a report from Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (NASB) Vladimir Karanik on 13 November, BelTA has learned.

The president noted that his meeting with the NASB head paves the way for a large-scale event with the scientific community. “This is the first step toward holding our major conversation with scientists,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated. The event is scheduled to take place on 17-23 November. The exact date will be determined later depending on the president’s schedule, including international engagements. “You will have the opportunity to prepare for this meeting, for this serious discussion. We need less formality. If a scientist has anything significant to say on the agenda we set, let them speak – we will listen,” the president said.

“Corresponding members and academicians must be present and understand our requirements. We, and I personally, do not intend to flatter scientists. Why? Because they are intelligent people who should understand that without results, there will be no benefits,” the head of state emphasized.
