22 декабря 2021

The President is making a working trip to Gomel today. A new governor has just been appointed in the region. Alexander Lukashenko introduces the new head and meets with the region's active core.

Meeting of the President with the Gomel Region active core 

Social and political situation is the first thing that interests the head of the state. How does the region deal with new challenges that directly affect the economy and life of people? The situation is under control, but it is not a reason for relaxation, that is the main thesis of the President. All issues of the region's development are now in the hands of the new governor, Ivan Krupko (until yesterday he was the Minister of Agriculture and Food). Today, according to the protocol, the governor was approved in his position by the Gomel regional council. 

The head of the Presidential Administration noted the manager's experience and competence. The agro-industrial complex is his specialty. Ivan Krupko has learned the region well, he knows the situation on the spot and is guided by the state interests in his work. Over the recent years, Gomel Region has been transformed. The development of industry and investment in the region outstrips the national average level. The exports have grown by a third. This is largely the merit of the former governor Gennady Soloviev. The task is to step up the agricultural production, assist in completing major investment projects, including Mozyr Oil Refinery, and form a strong team of managers.
