Belarus has not lost its leading positions in a number of hi-tech industries since the Soviet times. Our enterprises and specialists offer complex solutions in the field of space optics, radiography, nondestructive testing, probing the Earth's atmosphere. Belarusian fundamental school of optical physics is traditionally strong. You can feel it in our military-industrial complex.
However, the President noted that there are many areas, where we have to seriously "step up"! Belarus is constantly building up its competence. Under conditions of political pressure and wars of trade, one has to fight for sovereignty and rely on oneself as well as on true friends and partners.
Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus
Our developments can surprise and, most importantly, sober up people who have aggressive plans with regard to Belarus and Russia, the Union State. However, even in the defense sector, we are still dependent on imported components. In the current conditions, wherever possible, it is better to move away from such dependence. The national data centers, bank transaction processing nodes, and public safety monitoring tools should also work on the basis of our own solutions. Belarus has human resource potential and scientific reserve. This is most important. Now it is necessary to concentrate all efforts on solving strategic tasks.
The conversation was held in an extended format: scientists and industrialists took part in it. Now is the time of opportunities for microelectronics, as well as for other spheres. The interest in cooperation is enormous. The President instructed to think in more detail about coordinating joint work with Russia. We also talked about how import substitution work is carried out in the context of sanctions.
