President makes working trip to Brest region

It is necessary to develop the regional economy and solve social issues on this basis, reducing the gap in the quality of people's lives to a minimum. The need to tackle such a task was announced today by our President at a meeting with the activists of the Baranovichi district. Conversation in this format is already becoming traditional. The focus of attention is on the development of areas, small and medium cities. This is due to the need to ensure an even distribution of productive forces in the country. The emphasis is placed on 11 cities of Belarus including Baranovichi, where accelerated socio-economic development should be ensured in the next 2 years. 

Alexander Lukashenko made it clear that he was aware of all the discussions that preceded his arrival, especially with regard to restoring order in the city.

The trip to Baranovichi is a continuation of work on the development of regions, which began in the Orsha district. During the meeting, a whole spectrum of issues of the development of the city and region was raised. In particular, the Head of State oriented the vertical of power to work effectively in the pre-election years. Special attention should be paid to price control and wages.

The President sees great economic potential in the agricultural sector: he encouraged to analyze markets and focus on the most popular products. Changes in climate make it possible to cultivate some non-traditional crops. According to the Belarusian leader, if the state maintains a proper level of economic development, the country will always be stable. The President intends to once again visit Baranovichi at the beginning of the second half of the year to revise the activities of the enterprises. After the meeting, Alexander Lukashenko talked to local residents.
