[00:01:15] The creation of a new university, the Academy of Intellectual Technologies [00:01:19] was the topic of a meeting hosted by Belarusian President Alexander [00:01:22] Lukashenko, senior government officials, presidential [00:01:25] administration, the National Academy of Sciences, relevant Ministries and [00:01:29] University. By focusing on the introduction of [00:01:33] the latest educational technologies in working with talented children, we [00:01:37] began to form the future of our country, what we call its [00:01:40] intellectual elite, but [00:01:43] time does not stand still, we need to make a qualitative [00:01:47] leap in working with gifted youth, well, not [00:01:50] only youth. I have already repeatedly said that [00:01:53] the formation of the economy of the future is impossible without [00:01:57] the accelerated development of the higher education system. [00:02:00] The issue is about creating a fundamentally [00:02:04] new educational environment, flexible, interdisciplinary, [00:02:07] results-oriented, integrated into real [00:02:11] economic processes, first of all, for [00:02:14] the needs of our country. That is [00:02:17] why the need has arisen to create a new [00:02:20] university, the university of the future, and we [00:02:24] agreed that such an institution, as you call it, [00:02:27] an academy, should exist today. [00:02:30] Specialists will be trained in such fields as natural sciences, engineering [00:02:34] and digital technologies. The Chairman of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences [00:02:37] emphasized that not only school graduates, but also students, [00:02:41] university graduates and accomplished scientists will be able to receive training [00:02:45] at the academy. They will have the opportunity to enroll in the academy's [00:02:48] postgraduate and doctoral [00:02:50] programs. [00:02:53] The Latvian prime minister admitted that the government had [00:02:56] refused to approve the entire ministry's [00:02:59] insane. to permanently close the border. [00:03:02] Faced with an ultimatum from national road carriers who were [00:03:05] losing millions of euros and fear in signatures from members of [00:03:09] parliament calling for the resignation of the relevant minister, the Latvian [00:03:13] cabinet has had to curtail its pre-election [00:03:15] provocation. [00:03:20] This is a step that is detrimental to the [00:03:22] relationship. This is clear to everyone, [00:03:26] and we should treat it accordingly. That [00:03:29] is, given that the Republic of Belarus has introduced [00:03:32] visa-free travel and electronic visas for our citizens [00:03:36] and has made travel and crossing its border [00:03:39] easier, many people are traveling. As for [00:03:43] citizens, it's no secret that many people living in our [00:03:47] country have relatives and roots in Belarus. [00:03:51] This, of course, doesn't make their lives any [00:03:53] easier. As for cargo, it has [00:03:57] already gone through these routes. [00:04:11] The Great Stone Industrial Park's revenue exceeded half a billion [00:04:14] dollars last year. By 2030, it plans to triple its workforce to [00:04:18] 1,200 employees and increase the number of residents to [00:04:21] 270. This growth is the best proof that Belarusian-Chinese [00:04:25] cooperation is gaining momentum. For [00:04:27] today, 175 residents. Companies have been registered [00:04:31] in the park, 67 of which are from China. These [00:04:35] companies have invested over 1.2 billion dollars in [00:04:38] fixed capital since the park's inception. The Chinese [00:04:42] component is $650 million dollars, or more than [00:04:45] half. A unique ecosystem, preferential [00:04:48] treatment, ready-made engineering and access to the EAO and Chinese [00:04:52] markets. All this allows for not just assembling components, but [00:04:56] building a complete production chain from development to mass production. [00:05:00] Exports are expected to exceed half a billion dollars by [00:05:02] 2030. [00:05:06] By the end of the year, the volume of supplies of Belarusian goods to [00:05:10] Israel will soar to a record. [00:05:14] Compared to last year, our exports will grow by almost [00:05:17] 600%, surpassing all previous historical [00:05:20] highs. The Israeli market is [00:05:24] very special, not only in terms of military and [00:05:27] political risks, which your viewers, you and I, [00:05:31] are well aware of. However, I hope that their [00:05:35] severity will diminish in the coming months and, [00:05:38] God willing, years. It is still challenging in terms of [00:05:42] supply logistics, but once you understand this [00:05:46] extremely challenging market, including in terms [00:05:49] of co-share requirements, cash flow and logistical [00:05:53] difficulties, once you win it, you won't want to [00:05:57] leave. The locomotive of the trade [00:06:00] breakthrough was oil, which completely [00:06:04] conquered Israeli [00:06:06] catering. Belarus and [00:06:09] Russia have a cooperation for the next [00:06:13] five years, so far there is great untapped potential [00:06:17] between our country and this Russian region, and the new [00:06:20] document will give impetus to new cooperation ties and [00:06:23] joint projects. Today, industrial cooperation is the focus [00:06:27] of particular attention. [00:06:30] Industrial cooperation is very well developed in Russia [00:06:33] and Belarus, it also involves the supply of equipment [00:06:37] because Belarus has very strong manufacturers of the [00:06:41] equipment which is purchased, among others, by KSK [00:06:45] group of companies for the construction of new building where the interiors [00:06:49] for Russia's most modern high- speed train will be produced. As [00:06:52] part of the cooperation agreement between Belarus and Russia's two [00:06:56] oblasts, a roadmap has been prepared. It is planned to be [00:06:59] signed this fall in Minsk at the Inaprom industrial exhibition. [00:07:03] The document will include all projects currently under [00:07:06] discussion. [00:07:11] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus hosted a [00:07:14] presentation of the English-language edition of the book Our [00:07:17] President.

The book will be also available in other languages. [00:07:43] At present, proposals are being collected regarding the choice of [00:07:46] translation language.

Today [00:11:21] this unique technique is a part of Belarus' historical heritage. The [00:11:25] prime of the Malyavanka in Belarus was in the early 20th century, at [00:11:29] that time people used Malyavanka to decorate their homes due to the vibrant [00:11:32] colors and affordability.
