MINSK, 21 October (BelTA) – One of the key items on the agenda of the Belarusian People’s Congress will be the socio-economic development program for 2026-2030, Belarus’ Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin said during a meeting of the national committee to organize and hold the Belarusian People’s Congress, BelTA has learned.
By order of Chairman of the Belarusian People’s Congress Aleksandr Lukashenko, the second session of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress will be held on 18-19 December 2025. The committee to organize and hold the sessions of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress was established by resolution of the Belarusian People’s Congress Presidium No. 2 on 11 February 2025. Its first meeting took place at the government on 21 October.
“Each session of the Belarusian People’s Congress is a landmark political event. I believe that in its new constitutional status as the supreme representative body of people’s power, the upcoming session will be no exception,” Aleksandr Turchin said. “It will mark the end of a five‑year period of our country’s development and, given the changing geopolitical circumstances, the start of a new stage in the life of our society and the state as a whole.”
The prime minister noted that the head of state often stresses that the economy is the foundation of everything in any country. “Therefore, one of the major items on the agenda of the Belarusian People’s Congress will be Belarus’ socio‑economic development program for 2026-2030. The other items will be approved at the upcoming meeting of the Congress Presidium. But already today it is advisable for us to address all possible organizational matters related to preparing the Congress session. We have the necessary experience,” he said.
Aleksandr Turchin expressed confidence that the committee will be able to organize and hold the second session of the seventh Belarusian People’s Congress at the traditionally high level.
The campaign to prepare the second session of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress has been officially launched. The committee in charge of organizing and holding sessions of the 7th Belarusian People’s Congress was created in February 2025. It is headed by the prime minister of Belarus and includes a number of top-ranking government officials, heads of ministries, heads of regional executive committees and the Minsk City executive committee as well as representatives of other government agencies.
