Always with readers

February 4th marks 10th anniversary of «The Minsk Times» launch

In our first issue, we invited readers far and wide to visit our newly sovereign state at the heart of Europe. We detailed our industrial achievements, such as making BelAZ vehicles, while explaining our currency and the circulation of foreign currencies. We also noted an order from famous brand Nike to sew sportswear. Moreover, we printed wonderful photos of one of Belarus’ main historical and cultural Treasures: Mir Castle.
One decade on, we’re pleased to still be welcoming our readers. As to whether we’ve changed over time, you are the best judge. We’ve endeavoured to move with the times, although our appearance is much the same. Perhaps the biggest difference is in our content. We’ve worked hard to appeal to varying tastes and interests while revealing our country’s wealth of talent and economic potential. It’s been no hard task, since there are so many wonderful stories to report on and people seem to have an unending desire to learn about modern Belarus.
We hope that our newspaper has brought our readership closer to Belarus, showing our character and determination, which are built upon our rich historical and cultural legacy. In a word, we’ll continue to keep you informed.
