[00:01:03] Regional development equals national development, [00:01:06] priority is quality of life in rural areas. The President in Vileysky district [00:01:10] on control of the situation in the region, agro-industrial complex and trade organization. [00:01:14] There was a warm conversation with local residents. We are carefully [00:01:17] monitoring the elimination of the consequences of the storm front throughout Belarus. [00:01:21] Collected data from all regions. One of the most [00:01:24] successful and stable companies. Main trends, [00:01:27] results of the introductory marathon. Let's discuss in the topic [00:01:30] of the day: Belarus and China will conduct joint exercises, with an emphasis on [00:01:34] counter-terrorist operations, the goal is to increase the combat capability [00:01:38] of the troops. [00:01:40] Regional development, investment in production, increasing the level and [00:01:44] quality of life of rural residents. These topics are in the [00:01:47] focus of the President today. Alexander Lukashenko is on a working [00:01:51] trip to the Minsk region. The Head of State [00:01:54] is in Vileysky district, the President is immediately interested in the situation in the region as a whole [00:01:58] and in the military-industrial complex in particular. region, first impressions from [00:02:01] the air, Alexander Lukashenko demands order in the fields, abandoned [00:02:05] territories must be introduced into crop rotation, and such work must [00:02:09] be carried out throughout the region, and not in a separately taken region. Also, [00:02:12] the president visited the Zenit Bel Amo plant. Previously, [00:02:16] it was famous throughout the Soviet Union for its Zenit [00:02:19] SLR cameras. Today, it specializes in [00:02:23] the production of optical products, auto components, and medical [00:02:26] equipment. The investment project Tepas is [00:03:00] in progress. We worked very hard, in fact, we have the best [00:03:03] five-year period since the post-Soviet era, but [00:03:07] we are not stopping, the goal for this year is at [00:03:10] least 110% of production volume, 193.6% [00:03:13] of export supplies, 105%. [00:03:16] Of course, such growth could not have been achieved without [00:03:20] investment measures, without the introduction of new [00:03:23] products, at all enterprises that are part of the holding, a number [00:03:26] of investment projects were implemented over the five-year period. [00:04:00] we mastered, we are aimed at Gomselmash, Bobruyskagromash and [00:04:03] Amkador, where hydraulic lubrication systems are used, [00:04:06] well, it is necessary that all this works, lubrication, but I don't know about hydraulics, [00:04:10] for now I am not aiming at hydraulics, for now only the lubrication system, [00:04:14] this will be your task, it is clear, we must master hydraulics [00:04:17] in this and next year, so get ready, [00:04:20] this is like for Karankevich a press baler and [00:04:23] a milking robot, so you have hydraulics. [00:04:26] Another important topic is the organization of trade in rural areas. [00:04:31] Leading retail chains presented their pavilions. The President [00:04:34] demands a clear system of work, but the main thing is that [00:04:38] villagers must be served with dignity. All [00:04:41] the most important issues of the sphere were [00:04:44] discussed at the meeting. The key requirement is to provide [00:04:47] the rural population with a wide range of goods [00:04:50] to fully meet their needs. [00:04:53] I want to warn the governor, we have invested considerable money, Alexander [00:04:57] Nikolaevich, yes. in this, we paid attention [00:05:00] at the presidential level to [00:05:03] this, not only to Belkoopsoyuz, new directions of [00:05:07] servicing the rural population have appeared, let's [00:05:10] say, God forbid. if people complain, I repeat, [00:05:13] this is not because I am a villager or Kosinets [00:05:16] is a villager, but because the village must be [00:05:20] served with dignity, if we want something from [00:05:23] the village, here I give an example, yesterday [00:05:27] the temperature was up to 40°, in this combine [00:05:31] or in the tractor, maybe even higher, and the air conditioner [00:05:34] is not everywhere, well, you don't need me to explain, people [00:05:38] are toiling there, and they say they come home, [00:05:42] we go into this shop... or somewhere else, and [00:05:45] there, as Poselnik Klavish reports, rot is lying there, [00:05:49] is that normal, therefore, keep in mind, this applies [00:05:52] to everyone, give feedback, we will demand this from you and [00:05:56] serve the population, if Euroopt, Eurotorg [00:05:58] took some golden vein, and [00:06:02] work normally, and their profitability is over 30, or even [00:06:05] 50, well, grab on the way there or somewhere [00:06:08] else less developed [00:06:12] settlements and villages, but this is humane, today we [00:06:15] must serve the rural population [00:06:18] normally, there is no other way, and I [00:06:21] will control this strictly, but again, [00:06:25] I emphasize, there is no goal to stifle trade, no, [00:06:29] we will watch prices, but Slaukov will report separately [00:06:33] on how he defined the formula [00:06:35] of justice, there must be a formula of justice, this means [00:06:39] that the population should be satisfied, and you [00:06:42] would... work like that, otherwise tomorrow the trading [00:06:45] company will collapse, we will have to think about a new commonwealth [00:06:49] to dump on someone, we don't need this, we will [00:06:53] support you, we will do everything, but we will [00:06:56] also demand. The President again called on retail [00:06:59] chains to be socially responsible for remote villages, [00:07:03] it is unacceptable to skim the cream by earning in big cities, and [00:07:06] leaving the village without attention. However, so far, only [00:07:10] a few retail chains have joined in servicing the rural population, [00:07:14] with close attention to the quality of service. [00:07:17] Trade still sins with the presence of expired goods and non-compliance [00:07:21] with sanitary standards. There are other problematic issues in the [00:07:24] countryside. The work of mobile shops, therefore, [00:07:28] there are claims in this direction to consumer cooperatives and [00:07:31] other networks, representatives of large networks are [00:07:35] present here. People still complain about the operating [00:07:38] hours, routes, and assortment. Guys, I'll tell [00:07:42] you, man to man, stop messing around, serve [00:07:45] the population as, at least, the authorities [00:07:49] decide, as I demand from you, I already said, [00:07:52] we will help you, but we will demand [00:07:55] strictly. The monitoring of Vileika district, [00:07:58] which the Presidential Administration conducted, in which we are working [00:08:02] today, showed that even such products as apples, onions, [00:08:05] beets, potatoes were not available in certain mobile shops, [00:08:09] although there was a demand from buyers. Well, [00:08:12] there are two ways to look at this, we have already reached [00:08:15] the point in the village where there are no onions, [00:08:18] no potatoes, no beets, I [00:08:21] am the president, I hardly consume potatoes, onions [00:08:25] sometimes and so on, but I have enough of them, [00:08:29] they grow in my own beds, the borscht [00:08:32] set is complete, but our peasants [00:08:35] complain, they live on half a hectare of land, and [00:08:39] how much free land, they can't plant a bed of onions, this is... [00:08:42] on the one hand, but if there is demand, why don't we [00:08:45] satisfy it, this is another side, and this is throughout [00:08:49] the country, everyone remembers last year's situation with the shortage [00:08:52] of potatoes, with exorbitant prices for it, now, taking into [00:08:56] account seasonality, these issues are not so urgent, but winter is not [00:08:59] far off, I am talking about stabilization funds, I think there [00:09:03] is still work to be done here, the leadership of retail chains, [00:09:07] the district executive committee and others, deal with this [00:09:10] today, take priority on domestic [00:09:14] products, the president demands to increase its share in the domestic market. [00:09:18] So far, statistics are not impressive, there are few Belarusian products [00:09:20] on the shelves, well, a little more than half. Today, the country [00:09:24] still imports a lot of products that we produce ourselves. [00:09:28] Alexander Lukashenko calls for more active work with [00:09:31] domestic producers. After the meeting, the president [00:09:35] warmly chatted with the residents of Vileyka, they talked about life in [00:09:38] the countryside, discipline, and order in the district. [00:09:41] that we have become much better off, even [00:09:45] comparing this, I used to work in communications, and you [00:09:48] know, in communications, I used to work, no, [00:09:52] well, I retired, on pension, nothing, on [00:09:55] pension, on pension, I worked in communications, then communications [00:09:59] was just starting, and now looking at this, what technologies, [00:10:02] what order everywhere, you know, well, my heart rejoices, I'll [00:10:06] interrupt you, we really started [00:10:09] to live better, here I... or cars, so that, and [00:10:25] Vileyka district is participating in our experiment, [00:10:28] nine districts, including Vileika, so I came [00:10:31] to see how they serve the rural population, I [00:10:35] am not fighting for collective farms, state farms, private owners, [00:10:38] not even for agriculture, I am fighting for [00:10:41] the village, so that it is preserved in some [00:10:45] form, during this five-year plan, there will be a road [00:10:48] to every town, 100%, we have already defined [00:10:51] the plan and allocated money. [00:10:55] We allocated, started building, where it is not built, but mostly [00:10:59] there are already roads, people began to live, [00:11:02] unpopularly, I will say, much better, [00:11:05] those who want to live well, can live [00:11:09] well here, it so happened today, war here, war [00:11:12] there, and Russia, the East, through Belarus [00:11:16] today, through this narrow bottleneck, communicates [00:11:20] with the West, with Europe, a huge flow goes through [00:11:24] us, someone... slows this down, it's competition, there is a [00:11:27] struggle, but our Belarusians should not sleep, they need to [00:11:31] move, on any stream you can [00:11:35] earn something, and enterprising people earn, now [00:11:38] work where you want, earn, if you [00:11:42] steal, you see, there must be discipline in [00:11:45] society, as soon as we lose discipline, [00:11:48] we will start stealing from each other, from the state, there will be [00:11:51] war, believe my experience, war. [00:11:55] In Ukraine it didn't start with some problems, [00:11:58] but with theft, corruption, when they took, the country [00:12:02] was rich, they stuffed their pockets, and someone else's, and it came [00:12:05] to war, they didn't share, [00:12:08] therefore, well, maybe a little poorer, but without [00:12:11] war, this is the main thing, it is possible that the residents [00:12:15] thanked the President for the peaceful life on their [00:12:18] land, there are many guests in Vileika, including Russians, well, people [00:12:22] also came to express words of gratitude to the Belarusian... noted, [00:12:30] to preserve peace, everyone must work hard in their [00:12:34] workplace. This is primetime news. We [00:12:37] are following the developments in the country and the world. More information on our [00:12:41] website newsby. They endured the tests and entered [00:14:59] the best period in history. A solemn event was held at [00:15:02] the Chinese Embassy in Belarus. The first [00:15:05] through freight train, "Slavic Caravan," departed [00:15:08] from Orsha to Uzbekistan. [00:15:11] At the invitation of the President of Belarus, Zubrenok hosts [00:15:14] children from Southeast Asia. [00:15:17] Belarusian-Chinese relations have withstood [00:15:22] the tests. It is likely that this year we will have [00:16:07] a new record in trade between China and Belarus. [00:16:11] The reception is not just a tribute to important dates in Chinese history, [00:16:15] but a clear confirmation of common interest. These [00:16:19] next years are officially declared the years of industrial [00:16:22] cooperation between Belarus and China. [00:16:25] Belarus and Tajikistan signed a roadmap for cooperation until [00:16:29] 2031. The ceremony took place during [00:16:32] the nineteenth meeting of the intergovernmental commission [00:16:36] on trade and economic cooperation in Brest. At [00:16:39] the meeting, the state and prospects for the development [00:16:42] of trade, economic, investment, and interregional cooperation, [00:16:46] industrial cooperation, and interaction in various sectors [00:16:49] of the economy and social sphere were discussed.

The train will follow the route [00:17:03] Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan. In the future, it is planned to expand the range of goods to include wagons with [00:17:16] containers delivered by road transport, which will allow [00:17:20] to take advantage of all the benefits of multimodal [00:17:23] transportation. Already today, we have already passed [00:17:26] this route Belarus Uzbekistan, but we, with our [00:17:29] Uzbek colleagues, have thought out a completely [00:17:32] different service, it is more qualitative, what does it consist of. [00:17:35] that the train without re-forming, without [00:17:38] additional stops, will pass through the territory [00:17:41] of Russia, Kazakhstan and arrive in Uzbekistan, along this entire route [00:17:45] there are reference points, which are on schedule, like [00:17:48] a passenger train schedule, we need to bring [00:17:52] the volume of mutual, mutual [00:17:55] trade to 2 billion dollars by [00:17:59] 2030, this indicates that we [00:18:02] have the political will of the leaders of the two [00:18:06] countries, we have... [00:18:37] The Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the Southern Medical University of China [00:18:40] signed an agreement on scientific and technical cooperation. The document [00:18:44] will unite the efforts of the parties to strengthen scientific potential, [00:18:47] exchange advanced technologies, and create joint products [00:18:51] for applied purposes.
