MSLU rector asks Lukashenko about his vision of university's future, gets unexpected answer

MINSK, 22 November (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko answered a question about the future of Minsk State Linguistic University (MSLU) at a Q&A session titled “Open Microphone with the President” that was held at the university on 22 November, BelTA has learned.

Rector of Minsk State Linguistic University Natalya Lapteva noted that last year the university marked its 75th anniversary. “We try to imagine what our university will be like in the future. What is your vision of the linguistic university in 25 years?” she asked the president.

“I think it will become the Institute of Foreign Languages,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said unexpectedly, causing laughter and applause in the hall.

As is known, until 1993 the educational institution was called the Minsk State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages. People know it as the Institute of Foreign Languages.

“Yet, I am not a fortune teller. We will raise this matter later in our conversation,” the head of state added.
