Lukashenko defines priority task for trips abroad

 

MINSK, 20 November (BelTA) – While making personnel decisions on 20 November Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko urged to promote the export of domestic products at all levels, including during official trips abroad, BelTA has learned.

“I have already given instructions to the prime minister and the entire government – to everyone, starting with Krutoi [Dmitry Krutoi, Head of the Belarus President Administration], even though this falls outside his direct responsibilities. And this directive applies to me as well. When you travel [abroad], the question is: how many tractors, combines, seeders, winnowers, cultivators, and disc harrows have you sold? What are your sales numbers? Otherwise, what was the purpose of your trip? This applies to everyone: the leadership of parliament and all high-ranking officials,” the head of state said.
