The head of the Belarus President Administration and other participants, who are willing to share their opinions on this and other aspects, will speak about the political dimension.

I assume that in December we will return to issues concerning the preparations for the All-Belarus People’s Congress where we will outline Belarus’ development priorities in 2021-2025. Besides, we will discuss global aspects of Belarus’ development there,” the President said.
