Aleksandr Lukashenko instructed Aide to the Belarus President – Chief Inspector for Vitebsk Oblast Alexander Poznyak to join efforts with the governor to create a normal personnel pool in the region.
“There are many pending issues in Vitebsk Oblast, some of them have remained unsolved since Soviet times. Therefore, together with the governor you should do your best to promote the social and economic development of the region,” the President believes.
Appointing Alexander Guryanov Ambassador to Italy, the President said: "Next year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must focus on foreign economic activity, specifically foreign trade.”
The President stressed that Alexander Guryanov has an experience in foreign economic activity. When holding the post of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Guryanov was in change of such issues. He was also engaged in the preparation of the Belarusian pavilion at Expo Milano 2015.
Aleksandr Lukashenko paid special attention to discipline and order. “You will do nothing without order and discipline. Iron order is the most important thing,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
When appointing heads of local administrations the President emphasized: “Another topical issue which concerns me is that a lot of newly appointed executives begin to improve their housing conditions immediately after the appointment despite I warn them that they are on the frontline, are face to face with people. I am not against, but they must do it using their own money.” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that a lot of chairmen of district executive committees were involved in such affairs.
He also warned: “If you take the post, you should know that you are in full public view, people see everything that you are doing. The coming year will be a very complicated one, I dare say there have not been such difficult years in the history of our country. Russia is in recession, Ukraine which is our second largest market is in trouble, Kazakhstan has difficulties. We just need to hold out. If we work without paying attention to people, without supporting them, if we focus on creating our own financial wellbeing, people will not need such government. Remember it.”
The President stressed that the zones of responsibility have been determined and it is needed to work hard to fulfill the requirements. The interests of people should be the main priority for civil servants. People should have an opportunity to work and earn money.
The head of state noted that
the strictest requirements will be applied to government officials.
