Lukashenko: Belarusian state model of development became challenge to system of pseudo-liberal values
Despite unprecedented pressure from the West, Belarus has stepped forward, mastered new competences, become stronger and more visible on the world stage, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko noted at today’s inauguration ceremony
“The Belarusian state model of development has become a challenge to the system of pseudo-liberal values. And the fact that we do not retreat and do not bend frankly irritates our opponents and enemies. That is why we have been hit with a waterfall of sanctions. Unclean and unfair economic competition in its most primitive form. And not only economic... But even in these conditions, we have done a lot, stepped forward and mastered new competences,” the Belarusian leader emphasised.
The President spoke briefly on the most important achievements of sovereign Belarus, “The space industry is fully developed in the country. While we started with the production of equipment for space technology, today we participate in international research programmes, launch satellites and train specialists. We have built the first nuclear power plant. With the opening of the Belarusian National Biotechnology Corporation, we have mastered technologies available only to a few countries of the world. We have also found our niche in such an advanced field as digital technologies. Our optics and microelectronics are in demand all over the world. We are known as the home of the largest BELAZ vehicles. Every tenth tractor on the planet comes off the MTZ assembly line. And there are also MAZ vehicles, electric buses, cars, etc.”
The Belarusian leader said that by developing a rural development programme, in just a few decades we have not only ensured our own food security, but in many areas have become one of the world's top ten food exporters. Our medicine is one of the most high-tech and at the same time the most affordable in the world. We are among the world’s top 20 centres for transplantology.
“This is all of us, the new Belarus, the country of workers and creators. We have become strong, significant and noticeable,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
