MINSK, 23 June (BelTA) – The program on Belarus' social and economic development in 2016-2020 will become the foundation for making decisions in the future. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement in the concluding speech of the fifth Belarusian People's Congress on 23 June, BelTA has learned.
According to the head of state, the five-year program on Belarus' social and economic development is not an exhaustive document. “Life is so versatile it is impossible to spell out everything in one document,” added Alexander Lukashenko.
“The program has determined prospects, has sketched out the ways we will use to reach targeted goals. But these are the ways we can see today or have comprehended in theory,” underlined the President. “Since life is very diverse, we are likely to run into an abundance of other issues. We will have to make multiple decisions outside the scope of the program while certainly bearing the program's provisions in mind.”
“I would like you to keep it in mind and take a broader view of the tasks we are supposed to accomplish,” concluded Alexander Lukashenko.
