belarus is entering the markets of the countries of the global east and south, such an economic turnaround is not just a measure, it is forced, it is our strategic interests, diversification of trading partners, markets is one of the conditions for the sustainable operation of the economy, and...

means maintaining sovereignty and independence. alexander lukashenko’s grand tour from the pacific ocean to the atlantic has already been called an example of the mobility of belarusian diplomacy. well, the political road has been paved, now it is important to fill this path, and not only the silk one, without braking specific projects and programs. implementation of all agreements reached under control, instructions from the president. the government and ministers will have to implement all these agreements.

i think that the main task is to enlist the support of those countries that are ready to follow the path of creation and development with the republic of belarus. and i think that it was a success, judging by the results that we see today, these plans that we have, we managed to shatter the myth that belarusians are a faded, exclusively nation, we showed their dynamism, their interest and focus on moving forward. geography of recent trips of the head of state, are these the new geopolitical centers behind these regions of the future? the future is in these regions, you are right, because today, according to expert estimates, the main growth will be shown... it is africa, the african

continent, and if we lend our shoulder in time, we get involved in this, so to speak, in their development in time and help them understand , in which direction to go, then i really think these trends will be achieved, but i still can’t do not focus on china, since it is indeed, together with russia, that our all -weather, most powerful political, military, economic umbrella is being created against all misfortunes.

i think that other countries will also catch up, all our cooperation will be tied to reaching these countries, reaching every country. why alexander lukashenko in his time? i am absolutely right in saying that the future lies with the african continent. today africa is showing colossal rates of development, this is first, secondly, africa, freeing itself from colonial dependence , throwing off the time when it was a colony, these were states that did not have any independence, what are colonial countries, this is a country to which the colonialist brings only some necessary food products, goods for so that...

the right approach is taken seriously for a long time, we do not expect or hope for any quick results in any case, that is, our quick results were premium markets, our european union, ukraine, which, unfortunately, did not become unfriendly countries for us, it was their choice that the republic of belarus never sought to disrupt relations with them, we sought only creative cooperation.

without technology, without development, this growth is impossible. the republic of belarus will be the country that will lend a shoulder to them and provide them with opportunities for development. it looks like the package is all inclusive, absolutely. this is not charity. we are not china, we are not america, which prints money, and china, which has a huge amount of reserves, and not even russia. we must agree to work exclusively in good faith for money. there is a very good prospect there. there we need everything that we know how to do. in fact, the export model, which was previously popular all over the world, is now changing to an investment model of behavior. yes, the export model is good, that’s how we say it, for premium markets, when it’s yes, buy, sell when it’s logistics, which allows you to quickly and

efficiently deliver to a location closer, reduce your costs, that’s one point, the second point - this is when cooperation with friendly states that can share those technologies, when you... join global value chains, this is exactly what is right, this is an investment direction, because then we invest by investing in another friendly state , we get colossal returns for ourselves as well. work on the african continent requires not only political or presidential support, a grand tour of the head of state, all these negotiations at the highest level, this is essentially a catalyst for this process to be launched and move, maybe a little faster.

so that we move further into central west africa. if we are talking about zimbabwe, then zimbabwe opens up southern africa for us, yes, that is, it is a passage to the south. if we are talking about... kenya, then this is a state that occupies a fairly serious position in africa, it is after ethiopia, one of the most stable, so to speak, large states in terms of gdp. this is a state that plays a leading role in the common market of southern and eastern africa, and thus it is an outlet for many african countries to the sea, that is, we will implement our own strategy for each country.

components of state security. moreover, they will be able to ensure one of food security, something that is a big problem for african countries today. we are really building such a showcase, such a demonstration platform, where we show what belarus has to offer, we show it in practice, look, look, real results, this is what happened.

the world is one of the fastest growing economies, so there, one of the fastest growing

countries, but suddenly or not suddenly, i don’t know, you ’ll tell us now, such a passionate love for belarus is awakening, why is it necessary to look for some pitfalls somewhere here? love cannot awaken in a vacuum, we have done a lot to see the result that we have as of the twenty-third year, because this is not alexander’s first visit.

one of the highest in the world, so it is very important for us to build two tracks, this is an image, it always takes place in business contacts and business reputation.

they were blown away, so here is a trend that has advantages and very serious disadvantages - this is artificial intelligence, because artificial intelligence is not only development, it is also a threat, and it is necessary to provide for all the options for the consequences that may arise from the introduction of artificial intelligence in different areas, therefore, this area is one of the most promising, global, and as

for regional ones, these are infrastructure and logistics projects, of course. but they also agreed that it was possible that they very great interest, we can work together in africa. thanks to the intensification of our partnership, the figures for our trade turnover and turnover of services are steadily growing, here is your opinion for the future, this trend will remain, i think that this trend will continue, but in conditions of high competition we must understand that

there must be proposals on our part, alexander grigorievich constantly talks about this, and that last meeting was precisely aimed at ensuring that we... will flourish and develop in the same way the republic of belarus, the huge potential of the chinese market, well, i want to say that we would not have realized it so successfully if

there had not been such a high level of political relations, of course, you look at the duration of the negotiations between our president and the chairman, it’s two, three times longer than the planned time, against this background we see meetings of the chinese... leader with representatives of the west, who hardly reach the official time of this meeting, we have practically no closed topics for conversation, all the questions that we posed to the chairman of the people's republic of china sidinping, they received one answer: yes, we are ready to work, to go deeper, let's work together, let's work in a friendly way. china is the future of the entire planet, and the fact that we have good relations with them is our plus, our achievement. we are systematically building cooperation with china, there are practically no such global issues left, therefore, at meetings in beijing, the head of state raises, perhaps, the only

but very important issue: the speed of resolving the implementation of those agreements that were at the highest level, and here, too, different opinions are heard, including armchair critics and analysts who say that yes, we said it, this is the same dual policy.

this is a huge, first of all, activization of two-way contacts and the first point of inter-regional cooperation. taking specific from my practice the experience of the provincial jiangsu, one of the most developed and the mogilev region, it was thanks to interregional cooperation that in 2018 we were able to supply chinese beef to the market for the first time, based on the results already in the next few years we reached 10, 20, 100 million expensive, take it.

the news is on air in the studio yulia pertsova, good evening, first, briefly about the main topics of the issue.
