MINSK, 25 March (BelTA) – Everything promised in my election program will be fulfilled, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the inauguration ceremony at the Palace of Independence on 25 March, BelTA has learned.
“The contours of our strategy are outlined in the election program. You know: everything we promised will be fulfilled. Together with you. For the welfare of the country and the Belarusian people. For Belarus to step forward. A strong economy is our policy and a key to success. Promising investment projects, innovative production, new jobs are the basic tasks of the upcoming five-year plan,” the head of state said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that Belarus has a colossal and even unique scientific potential in many areas: “We have everything we need not to lose the new intellectual race.”
According to him, it is necessary to strengthen the traditional domestic design, engineering and other schools, as well as to develop new competencies. “This does not mean running headlong after the overhyped brand new trends - artificial intelligence, quantum computers and the like. Yes, we will do it, but only for the benefit of our people,” the Belarusian leader said. “We will never need technology for technology's sake. They should be of real use and give a concrete result. The main thing is to understand what of this array of innovations really gives a new quality, saves resources, makes life of people easier and better.”
These and other tasks are to be further concretized and approved by the Belarusian People's Congress.
