Personnel decisions of the President change the diplomatic balance in our foreign missions and are aimed at strengthening the position of Minsk. Today Alexander Lukashenko appointed ambassadors to China, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Serbia and Indonesia. They will have to promote our interests. Of course, we can't do without politics, but the economy is of paramount importance. It is economic tasks that the President sets for diplomats.
Nobody cancels the representative functions of ambassadors, but the results of their work will eventually be evaluated by the economy.
The appointment of Alexander Cherviakov - ex-Minister of Economy, a man with such a serious professional and ministerial background - as ambassador to China speaks for itself.
