According to the expert, it is especially important for the development of Belarus that the interests of the President coincide with the interests of our society.

“Aleksandr Lukashenko is the creator of the independent and sovereign Belarus as we know it. It’s hard for anyone to argue with this. Now the Head of State understands that as time changes, so does Belarus. The President wants to define a political and social model of development that will remain for years to come. We are interested in this,” Vadim Gigin underlined.

The speaker believes that the Belarusian development experience is important for the entire world community.

“Belarusians do not like to boast, it is in our character. On the contrary, we would hide something somewhere so that the neighbours do not envy and so as not to jinx it. <...> Many colleagues in Russia and even far abroad want to study our experience [of the country’s development], but they do it carefully, inviting us to some events or coming here. So they ask us how we did it, what we did, and why we did in this way and not otherwise. Indeed, we are being watched closely both by our opponents and allies. Belarusian experience is highly appreciated. We outlined this experience in speeches, at international conferences, when communicating with statesmen of foreign countries. Probably, the time has come to generalise it and offer it in the form of some kind of scientific work,” said Vadim Gigin.
