MINSK, 25 November (BelTA) – The agenda for the second session of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress was approved on 25 November by a corresponding resolution of its Presidium, Deputy Chairman of the Presidium Aleksandr Kosinets told journalists following the meeting of the Presidium, BelTA reports.
According to him, the meeting finalized all organizational decisions for the upcoming session, which will be held on 18 and 19 December.
On the first day, the president will deliver his Address to the Belarusian people and the National Assembly. According to the amended Constitution, such annual addresses are to be heard exclusively at sessions of the Belarusian People’s Congress.
On the second day, the session is scheduled to approve Belarus’ socioeconomic development program for 2026-2030. It will be presented by the prime minister, who will also report on the implementation of the previous five-year plan.
Aleksandr Kosinets highlighted a key change in timing: unlike previous programs, which were adopted after a five-year cycle had already begun, this socioeconomic development program is being approved just before the next cycle starts.
Other items on the agenda of the Belarusian People’s Congress include the election of a new member to its Presidium, filling the vacancy left by Konstantin Burak, who was appointed in April 2025 as Aide to the President and Inspector for Grodno Oblast. This decision will be made by secret ballot.
Furthermore, the session will consider personnel matters for the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court, as well as issues related to the financing of the Congress itself.
