Call to develop manufacturing base, housing in Belarusian regions

MINSK, 17 June (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko gave instructions to develop the production sector and housing construction in the regions during his working visit to Bobruisk on 17 June, BelTA has learned.

The head of state pointed to a number of facilities in the city, including social infrastructure and hostels, which need to be spruced up. Aleksandr Lukashenko also drew attention to the facts of mismanagement that were revealed by the State Control Committee before the visit of the head of state. The Belarusian leader set a deadline of 1 January 2023 for the governor to put everything in order.

It is also necessary to develop the manufacturing base and build housing, the head of state said. This task is not only for Bobruisk. The main objective is to create favorable working and living conditions across the country. More so that today the topic of import substitution is relevant like never before.

The president also suggested extending preferential conditions to the regional level. “All preferential conditions should be the same as in Minsk,” he said.

“Drawing everyone to Minsk is probably wrong. Minsk will soon have no place left. We need to create conditions for people to spread all over the country. People should not be forced out of Minsk however. They should be provided with jobs and housing in order to go and live in the regions,” said the head of state.
