MINSK, 9 April (BelTA) – High product quality and good maintenance services are critical for the successful development of the domestic industry, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the meeting to discuss the country’s manufacturing sector at the Palace of Independence, BelTA has learned.
“In the Year of Quality (and beyond), our products must meet the highest quality standards. There is no other way. This is not an option but a necessity. The future of the country and people depends on it. Our products should have high quality characteristics and parameters,” the Belarusian leader remarked.
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that today it is very difficult to compete with Chinese manufacturers as their products are cheaper. “This means that our products should have exceptional quality and we must provide the necessary services,” he noted. “We must achieve the Japanese standard of quality. The task is to gain a foothold on the market and expand our presence. And if our strategy is built around being the lowest bidder, this will affect the quality of our products and the production of our own component parts.”
According to the head of state, some facts cited by experts are beyond the pale. The most outrageous incidents are when new equipment breaks down even before use. Flaws were also identified in the provision of service maintenance.
