The meeting discussed issues relating to interaction between the state and the Belarusian Orthodox Church. Metropolitan Pavel touched upon constructing a new complex of administrative buildings for the Belarusian Orthodox Church, on land adjacent to the current Minsk Diocese building.

The President generally agreed with the initiative to build the new complex but emphasised that plans must meet the intended purpose; a Church Board of Trustees will oversee the project.

The President’s forthcoming meeting with members of the Synod of the Belarusian Orthodox Church also came under discussion.
