The head of state emphasized the importance of a broad and public discussion of the BRSM strategies and collective assessment of the work of the organization and its activists.
“Our regular communication is an example of the proper interaction between the government and NGOs. It is a real opportunity for the youth to have their say on the most relevant matters, to convey suggestions proposed by the youth and to be heard. It provides the state with an opportunity to understand what is on the mind of young people and to come up with the best forms of cooperation in the interests of our Motherland,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
It is interesting to find out what young people think about and what they deem important and useful for the country. “As we have engaged in a dialogue, I would like you to listen to me and to hear me, to assess objectively all the things that are done by our young sovereign state for you, for your successful present and confidence in the future,” the Belarusian President noted.
He emphasized that strong, independent and self-motivated people are needed all over the world and Belarus is no exception. They are needed across all walks of life: in politics, business, science, education and civil service. They are the driving force of the progress; their energy and power determine the development pace of the society.
Alexander Lukashenko noted: “Belarus is one of the few countries where the youth movement is in the focus of the government. As the head of state, I believe that among the most important and strategic tasks is the formation of the generation that would make the core of our hardworking, educated and healthy nation”.
“The state will never leave young people alone with their problems. We are ready to promote relations based on mutual trust. The state will do its best to implement specific measures to improve the life of the youth in the country,” the head of state said.
Alexander Lukashenko believes that responsibility, independence and engagement should become the signature features of the young generation and the country in general. The President emphasized that he is responsible for creating the conditions conducive to the self-fulfillment and education of the youth. “The state will continue protecting young people and helping them adapt to modern-day environment, with the ultimate goal to achieve a higher level of life for all of us,” the President said.
