MINSK, 20 January (BelTA) – In the current conditions of aggressive competition, quality is becoming the determining factor, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a ceremony to present the State Quality Mark awards to the enterprises that have earned this high distinction based on the results of 2025, BelTA has learned.
The president noted that over the years of independence Belarus has significantly restructured the economy, introduced the most progressive sectors, and built up its expertise. “In the current conditions of aggressive competition (not always fair, by the way) and rapid technological change, the drive for quality is becoming the defining factor at all levels: company, industry, country, and even the world,” the Belarusian leader believes.
Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed to rising GDP and export numbers as the key proof that Belarus is on the right track. “Goods with ‘Made in Belarus’ mark are now available in more than 150 countries, and our export footprint keeps growing,” he stressed. “I believe that fair competition among manufacturers for the State Quality Mark will not only serve as motivation but will also help cement our technological leadership at regional and international levels,” the head of state said.
The president described the State Quality Mark as the greatest possible advertisement for products that have earned it. He also recalled that during the first decade of the existence of the Soviet Quality Mark, nearly 3,000 goods manufactured on the territory of the Byelorussian SSR earned the right to have it.
“We will not reach 3,000. This is not because we don’t have them, but because the task set for the government is that only the very best goods should be awarded the State Quality Mark,” the Belarusian leader added.
