[00:06:07] Global challenges, Belarusian experience and
[00:06:10] gratitude for developing union.
[00:06:13] The president met with the chairman of central committee of Russia's
[00:06:17] communist party. As usual, the head of state discussed a
[00:06:20] wide range of topics, including Belarusian-Russian relations and
[00:06:24] interparty cooperation. There was also a solemn moment.
[00:06:28] Gennadi Zuganov awarded Aleksander Lukashenko with the
[00:06:32] Lenin Prize. It was revived in
[00:06:34] 2017.
[00:07:12] 80 countries, and I'll tell you frankly, when
[00:07:16] I saw that even Belarus's adversary ranked the country
[00:07:20] among the top five safest, most energetic
[00:07:23] countries, and in the post-Soviet space, you
[00:07:26] have doubled your Soviet potential. Your
[00:07:29] achievement is that you have built on the best of the
[00:07:33] Soviet era, adding to it without
[00:07:36] reinventing or throwing anything away, moving
[00:07:39] forward. This is what gives you honor. And
[00:07:52] the Lenin Prize of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the
[00:07:55] Russian Federation is awarded
[00:07:59] the ideas of a just and multipolar world, for efforts
[00:08:03] to strengthen the union state and preserve historical
[00:08:06] heritage.
[00:08:42] are also expanding. Friendship groups operate
[00:08:46] within our parliaments. We exchange visits,
[00:08:50] participate in various international events and
[00:08:53] devote considerable attention to trade and economic
[00:08:57] issues. Belarus is primarily interested
[00:09:00] in the possibility of supplying its equipment to
[00:09:04] Uzbekistan.
[00:09:06] Trade turnover between Belarus and Uzbekistan reached almost
[00:09:10] $1 billion last year.
[00:09:15] Belarusian paratroopers have arrived in China to participate in
[00:09:19] Swift Eagle 2026 exercises. The maneuvers will
[00:09:23] take place from 11th to 24th August in Hubei
[00:09:26] province in the central part of China. The participants will
[00:09:29] practice counter-terrorism operations. They will improve their
[00:09:33] skills in conducting reconnaissance, seizing and
[00:09:35] holding positions, clearing the territory and organizing
[00:09:39] defense. The current maneuvers focus on joint counter.
[00:09:49] A symbol of his era: an exhibition commemorating Fidel
[00:09:52] Castro's 100th birthday has opened in the House
[00:09:55] of Representatives. It features real museum exhibits reflecting
[00:09:59] the history of Belarusian-Cuban ties. The exhibition
[00:10:03] includes photographs from his 1972 visit to
[00:10:07] the Belarusian Soviet Socialist
[00:10:10] wreath-laying ceremony at the monument and a visit to
[00:10:14] the Khatyn Memorial Complex. Fidel Castro
[00:10:17] admired the history of Belarus and the heroism of its
[00:10:20] people during the Great Patriotic War.
[00:10:24] Our friendship has a very solid foundation. We
[00:10:27] know each other well. Many Cuban students studied
[00:10:31] here. Many Belarusian specialists have been to
[00:10:33] Cuba. We have very close ties. It's not for
[00:10:37] nothing that they say an old friend is better than two new
[00:10:40] ones. We know each other
[00:10:42] well.
[00:10:45] The exhibition will continue its work in the House of
[00:10:48] Representatives as part of events aimed at developing
[00:10:51] dialogue between the two countries.
[00:11:00] The "Made in Belarus" brand continues to conquer international
[00:11:03] markets. In May and June alone, a company from Kobrin
[00:11:07] shipped 16 tons of ice cream to China. A specialized
[00:11:11] store selling this Belarusian delicacy has also opened in
[00:11:14] Shanghai. Naturality and authentic taste are the
[00:11:18] features that customers appreciate.
[00:11:21] The opening of our first store exceeded our expectations.
[00:11:25] Business is booming with many repeat customers, and
[00:11:29] surprisingly, the majority of our customers are elderly.
[00:11:33] Furthermore, many customers travel from far and wide,
[00:11:36] spending two or three hours on the bus, having heard so much
[00:11:40] about the deliciousness of Belarusian ice
[00:11:42] cream. The ice cream is delicious,
[00:11:46] really delicious. It's especially hot today and I came here by
[00:11:49] bike. I think I'll come here more often. Yeah, I
[00:11:53] think it's a little bit sweet, too sweet.
[00:11:57] I think um, tasted maybe is good. Yeah, somebody
[00:12:00] likes it. Belarusian ice cream retail
[00:12:03] pavilion opened in Shanghai on the 26th of June, and
[00:12:07] it's also gaining momentum. Plans call for increased
[00:12:10] sales of other dairy
[00:12:12] products.
[00:12:18] The future of Belarus lies in its talented youth. The results
[00:12:22] of prestigious international intellectual
[00:12:32] winning six gold medals in the individual competition. In the
[00:12:36] team competition, Belarus placed second among
[00:12:39] 135 universities
[00:12:41] worldwide. So it's not a surprise, it's a result of
[00:12:45] systematic work that began 4 years ago a Faculty of Applied
[00:12:48] Mathematics and Computer Science in our department. The
[00:12:51] 33rd International Student Mathematics Competition was held in
[00:12:55] Bulgaria this year, bringing together approximately
[00:12:58] 500 participants from 48
[00:13:01] countries.
[00:13:05] Belarus consistently ranks among the top 20 countries with the
[00:13:09] lowest infant mortality rates. Our country also ranks
[00:13:12] among the top international ratings for a comfortable place to give birth
[00:13:16] and raise children. This result is achieved through a combination of
[00:13:20] parents, doctors and technology. Particular attention
[00:13:23] is paid to the children who were born.
[00:13:55] reduces the risk of complications in the future. Thanks to the concern of
[00:13:58] Belarusian doctors, more and more children are getting a chance to
[00:14:02] live a full
[00:14:03] life.
[00:14:10] Belarus is ready to contribute to the development of
[00:14:13] cultural cooperation with the BRICS countries. This was
[00:14:17] stated by the Deputy Minister of Culture of Belarus in his
[00:14:20] speech at the 11th BRICS Culture Ministers' meeting in
[00:14:23] India. The meeting in Bhopal concluded with the adoption of a
[00:14:27] declaration on the development of cooperation in the field of
[00:14:30] restitution of cultural property. Another
[00:14:33] important outcome, the Ministries of Culture of Belarus and
[00:14:37] India agreed to sign an intergovernmental program on
[00:14:40] cooperation in the field of
[00:14:42] culture.
[00:14:45] The Belarusian town Ivye hosted a unique festival that has
[00:14:49] already become a tradition, a theatrical parade, a competition for
[00:14:52] the largest tomato harvest and the best...
[00:15:04] Every year we have more and more people and the program gets broader and
[00:15:08] broader. And every year we change the programs a little, every year we
[00:15:11] change the costumes, and new venues open because so many people are
[00:15:15] interested in the festival.
[00:15:19] One of the main traditions of the holiday is the canning of the
[00:15:22] ripest Ivye tomatoes. This officially kicks off the winter canning
[00:15:26] season.
