Lukashenko calls meeting to discuss upcoming Belarusian People’s Congress

MINSK, 18 April (BelTA) - Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko convened a meeting on 18 April to discuss the preparations for the first session of the 7th Belarusian People's Congress, BelTA has learned.

Just a week is left before the first session of the 7th Belarusian People's Congress kicks off, with the preparations for the event almost complete.

“We have agreed to meet once again and discuss all the organizational issues to ensure effective work of the Belarusian People's Congress,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

“As I have been briefed, the organizing committee has been set up and has already held meetings and compiled the basic documents. However, there are still a number of unresolved issues related to the permanent presidium, deputy chairpersons (we should consult on how we will suggest the Belarusian People's Congress select them). In short, it is necessary to ensure a normal, manageable working process of the Belarusian People's Congress, starting from the decoration of the city (without going overboard and wasting money) to the meeting venue,” the president emphasized.

The head of state also focused on the organizational aspects related to the provision of the delegates with everything necessary. “I would like to ask you once again to make sure the delegates of the Belarusian People’s Congress have everything they need, including catering, accommodation and all necessary materials for work. What has been done in this regard? What needs to be done?” Aleksandr Lukashenko asked.
