KORMA, 12 October (BelTA) - Gomel Oblast is a highly developed agro-industrial region with great tourism potential, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he addressed a ceremony honoring the farmers during Dazhynki 2024 harvest festival in the town of Korma, Gomel Oblast on 12 October.
“Today Gomel Oblast is a highly developed region with great tourist potential,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “We have retained access to rich and highly demanded resources, so we have the opportunity to extract peat, coal, oil, and potash. We are engaged in the systematic development of these territories as part of the Chernobyl program and we are thinking about new horizons.”
The president added that agreements has been reached with the Russian company Rosneft to explore the subsoil of Gomel Oblast. “We will definitely find oil there (wells were drilled and abandoned in Soviet times). We will use this money to develop our Gomel Oblast,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
