MINSK, 22 January (BelTA) – It is important that we produce all necessary things primarily at home rather than rely on imports, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a ceremony to present Doctor of Science diplomas and professor certificates to academic, research and teaching staff at the Palace of Independence on 22 January, BelTA has learned.
“Thank you very much for achieving this level. For coming to the Palace of Independence, the main symbol of our independence. Naturally, there are no random people here,” the president said.
He wished that the scientists do not to stop in their research and share their experience with others, not confine themselves within small collectives and groups.
Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the importance of developing a wide range of fields, including those showcased at the current ceremony: healthcare, microelectronics, and agriculture.
“We must work to earn money. We must ensure the nation is healthy, clothed, and fed. We have everything for this, and even more,” the president said. “We will focus on creating new manufacturing facilities. You know, in shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing. We have already begun doing it, we know how to do it. Nuclear energy. Who would have thought we could build a nuclear power plant? We learned to do it. That means the nation is educated. We are up to any task. We just need to understand that we must do things primarily ourselves."
“I am not against competition. It should be there. But we must first and foremost produce everything necessary for ourselves with our own hands. Whatever we lack, we will buy,” the Belarusian leader noted.
