Lukashenko praises competences of Belarusian IT professionals

MINSK, 8 March (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made a few comments about competences of Belarusian IT professionals as he visited a Mak.by fast food restaurant chain on 8 March, BelTA has learned.
While in the Mak.by restaurant located in the First National Trading House, the president remarked that not only Belarusian foods but also Belarusian software plays an important role in the restaurant’s operation. The same is true for other spheres, including agriculture, where automation is necessary.
“We face the same factor everywhere: software. Otherwise, it even hurts my feelings when I wonder why I created this [Hi-Tech] Park, why I promoted IT professionals. In order for them to try to turn the country upside down in 2020? This is why Belarus should rely on its own products so that they would make and sell on their own. Our products are appreciated in Russia, in China, everywhere. Their brains are highly appreciated. Americans have told me many times that Belarusians can make incredible things. Indians [can make] the impossible but Belarusians [can make] the incredible,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
