Attending the Belarusian People’s Congress will also be workers, representatives of the agricultural and other sectors who will speak on behalf of their labor collectives.

These are investments, creation of jobs and export promotion. “I asked to look wider. Perhaps we will have five priorities,” the Belarusian leader noted. Alexander Lukashenko added that various political issues will be discussed at the Belarusian People’s Congress as well. “Economy, however, will be high on agenda. We have already considered all other areas, and economy remains an issue that raises a lot of questions and even disagreements. I have instructed to finalize the program within the next ten days,” said the President.
