Lukashenko suggests permanent display of national achievements at Minsk exhibition center

MINSK, 8 May (BelTA) – The Minsk International Exhibition Center should house a permanent exposition, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he attended the opening ceremony of the center in Minsk on 8 May, BelTA has learned.

Upon arriving at the exhibition center, the head of state addressed officials, saying, "I see that you did not fully understand me. A permanent exhibition should always be here. This is a good opportunity to show what our country can produce. It should not be just a temporary display. The building should not be empty."

The president emphasized that the center, certainly, will host temporary exhibitions, but it is much more important to have a permanent display. "People should have an opportunity to come any time and see what we have accomplished. Like a museum of our nation’s achievements. That was the idea," Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed. "Every enterprise must present itself in the best possible way."
