Enterprises should earn higher profits through a more efficient manufacturing process, rather than higher prices for socially important goods, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he toured Minsk Dairy Plant No. 1 on 12 August, BelTA has learned.

We need to create more jobs in the satellite towns of Minsk, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Chairman of the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee Aleksandr Turchin on 3 January, BelTA has learned.

Support for agriculture is a key task. “We are determined to keep agriculture support at the same level, maybe even expand it a bit,” Aleksandr Turchin said. He added there is still space for concessions in the talks, whereas Belarus is aware of the lines it can’t cross. Belarus is ready for a compromise, but without compromising its own interests, First Vice Prime Minister stressed. Turchin said that Russian and the USA have the most rigid stance in the talks, but it helps Belarus have a new angle on many issues. “We’ve achieved significant progress in a short time,” the official said. According to him, Belarus has a good chance to finish all the formalities by the Twelfth Ministerial Conference in June 2020 in Kazakhstan.
