MINSK, 10 April (BelTA) – With diligent work on strengthening technological sovereignty, Belarus and Russia will catch up with and surpass the West, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he gave an interview with the Interstate TV and Radio Company Mir on 8 April, BelTA has learned.
"We need to enhance import substitution, technological sovereignty and other areas. We have raw materials, technologies. They may not be the most advanced in some areas, but we have them," Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized. "For example, even though our cars may not be so luxurious yet, in three-four years we will be able to reach their level and perhaps even surpass it. We have competencies too: Moskvich, Zhiguli, and so on. They have started producing decent cars. We will get through this. As for mobile phones, iPads, and so on, we will buy them in China. We live and use the same phones they do."
