how do holy saints help believers with their invisible power? who is the source, he is the conductor of our prayers, he is the intercessor before god. why do people change their lifestyle and go to a monastery? something in my heart sounded like it was necessary to leave this social life, just as the grand duchess in her time left the luxurious, a rich social life and devoted herself to monastic work.

do not spoil these affections, but multiply, and change these other aspects, which reveal the fundamental greatness of the skin of the man. let's look at marya, and let's talk about all our lives and the rights of jesus. answers to these and other questions in spiritual and cultural projects on the belarus 24 tv channel . and

, there will be an eternal life, as i long live the bright people mov. belarus 24 sums up the results of the year on air in the event program and today in the final episode of 2023 in a somewhat unusual format.

we, presenters veronika buta and olga anishchenko, with our colleagues and viewers in different parts of the world, have been observing all these 365 days how our country lives and... how our country develops, and today, at the end of the year, we invite you to remember its brightest moments, how will he be remembered and how will he go down in history? indeed, the year was eventful in all... faiths and we did not stay in the country. about everything interesting things were shared with you internationally . and not only with the dry facts of statistics, but also with emotional interviews of our guests, direct participants in many events. this year's program guests included dozens of people, politicians, scientists, diplomats, experts, and representatives of various fields of activity. they will help us look through the calendar of events in belarus in 2023 . and let's start with the economy. 2023 for belarusian. economy in difficult conditions of turbulence and restrictions in the world became successful: growth of gdp and real income

population, lower inflation, actively increased import substitution and, thanks to competent diversification, reached record export growth rates. in addition to traditional cooperation with the regions of russia - this is our main market, we have made significant progress in interaction with the cis countries and china. one of the notable events of the year is the increasing presence of belarus on the african continent, in particular the vyquats. equipment, technology, infrastructure, competencies in the field of high technology,

education, medical care, therefore, in one form or another, all countries with export-oriented economies are trying to ensure their presence in africa. over the years of independence, we have opened five diplomatic missions; our strongholds cover key african regions, including egypt. south africa , nigeria, kenya and zimbabwe. however, we are not limited to interaction only with these countries. our ambassadors in africa are accredited in a total of seventeen countries. in general, we are actively working with african countries, and the most important thing is that we come to him with an open heart, we come with partnership, mutually beneficial cooperation, and not with mentoring. belarus , forming new centers of gravity, establishing

friendships on different continents, is an active supporter of global efforts to ensure sustainable development. our country, as one of the world's largest suppliers of rut fertilizers and dairy products, acts as a donor to global food security. our successes in ensuring high quality nutrition, healthcare, and nature conservation are also known. belarusian priorities on this axis. sounded from the high rostrum at the un summit in new york. in the twenty-third year, belarus took thirty-fourth place among 166 countries in the ranking of achievement of sustainable development goals. progress in achieving all seventeen goals is an impressive 77.5 points out of a possible 100. progress in achieving sustainable development goals in belarus, which is set for the period of the thirtieth year , is already almost 80%. there is every reason.

after all, here is a global view, it is also important, because the work nevertheless, it is being carried out more systematically, taking into account international experience and the undoubted benefits of the fact that we are involved in this work, that we can position ourselves on the world stage as a responsible country, as a country that cares about the environment, as a country. which cares about the proportional

development of society, a country with high social responsibility and social protection, so this is also an element of pr for us, it is impossible to talk about sustainable development if at least one of the priorities, one of the seventeen goals, is on yes, somewhere, yes, it is not given due attention and importance, so... is ensuring peace on earth, something like this, somewhere on the sidelines, we even shout about it, which is why the president has repeatedly said that there cannot be sustainable development in the context of such a severe escalation of the situation on the globe, so this is one of the elements that we can

take credit for today, probably this attention to these. issues and efforts that belarus is making. and to continue the topic sustainable development, one of the goals is the elimination of hunger on the planet, food security is a policy priority of our state, we fully provide ourselves with food, and export to more than 100 countries of the world. belarus is one of the world's largest exporters of dairy products and fiber, rabe oil, sausages, sugar, meat, poultry; we are proud of all the best, for good reason.

these are achievements in the field of agricultural engineering, food industry, livestock farming, science and education. 240 units were presented agricultural machinery, 130 food industry enterprises took part in the exhibition with their new food products. in total, 450 companies took part in the exhibition; this year the exhibition area was significantly larger than last year.

lasers, optoelectronics, by the way, all regions of the country presented their latest inventions, innovative developments at the large-scale exhibition belarus intellectual, this is the case when there is something to look at and really something to be proud of, because many positions simply have no analogues in the world. today, the academy of sciences includes

108 organizations, the principle has been implemented from idea to... approximately half of even scientific organizations in the academy of sciences have their own small-average production, where they produce those innovative products that our scientists invented, created, our developments, they are actively used not only our organizations, they are actively involved in all sectors of our country, we work with

the largest enterprises, with mazon, with belaz, with mtz and other organizations where implement. a dna molecule, which, when introduced into the body, begins to work in isolation, is not integrated into the human genome, and this is extremely important, and then after a week is removed from

the body and requires repeated administration every week, that is, the drug does not prevent, it only cures, it cures , it affects the processes of chronic inflammation, and thereby, destroying this chronic inflammation, changes the microenvironment. around the tumor allows chemotherapy drugs to subsequently penetrate into the tumor. we selected five types of malignant tumors, extremely aggressive ones, for which traditional chemotherapy is ineffective. these are chemo-resistant ovarian cancer, so -called triple-negative breast cancer , stomach, pancreatic and prostate cancer. these are the five types. to date,

to select the most talented, create all the conditions so that the guys can express themselves and be further motivated to show high results, science city has been created for this. during

the operation of the children's technology park, it has already passed 25 educational shifts, knowledge is gained in the most promising areas for the economy. the program is designed for 72 hours, the guys undergo training in their laboratories in their areas, today we have 15 such areas, as i already said. this is a block of natural sciences, a block of information technologies, a block of engineering and technology, various, let’s say, there are competitions, our average competition is about a little more than three people per place, but it reaches up to eleven, this applies to information technology, information security, every shift there is a project defense, it can be group or individual, and today we form promising projects such, let’s say, the best 100, because over the entire existence of our institution, this is more than one and a half thousand different projects, guys, well, the level of course different, as i already said, the most

promising ones are being formed today, and they are different, they are in the field of agriculture, construction, industry, let’s say there are robotics, and there are interesting projects that are applicable today in production, including for drones too. various aerial photography , today the state is doing a lot for our youth, in particular even such a unique institution for gifted youth, so they have many opportunities today, and if they successfully entered the national children's technopark, and completed the appropriate training, successfully defended their project, then we have project activities in the national children's technology park, that is, a certain benefit today. in accordance with the admission rules of the higher education institution, then is, having received a recommendation from the supervisory board, and students who have successfully completed the training can be enrolled without

interview exams in higher educational institutions in the fields of technical technology and natural science. belarusian education is highly valued in the world, so studying in our country attracts many foreign students. today, domestic universities are real. programs, various training options are available for foreigners. of course, the leaders in this regard are students from china, but there are also many students from post-soviet countries in foreign joint educational institutions. there are more students from africa, iran, turkmenistan, lebanon and other countries. the geography of countries that are represented today in institutions of higher education in our country is quite extensive; it is about 110 countries at the moment. traditionally , about 40% of students who are foreigners who are studying are citizens of, well

, our post-soviet countries, these are... the cis, the eurasian economic union, which is due to the lack of a language barrier, what is connected with the still, well, preserved traditions of that soviet higher school , which are supported today in our institutions of higher education, this is quite a close connection between the educational institution and production, which allows us to organize a practice-oriented educational process, that is, all this together allows us.

citizenship, there are more than 3,500 such foreigners in our country since the beginning of the year. this year , a new version of the law on citizenship of the republic of belarus came into force. among the main innovations in taking the oath are: written testing of knowledge of the belarusian or russian language, as well as adjusted deadlines for consideration of applications. on july 11 of this year , changes and additions to the law on citizenship of the republic of belarus came into force, which contains a number of innovations related to the adjustment of citizenship legislation.

first of all, of course, faces. who acquires citizenship of the republic of belarus will now take the oath in a solemn atmosphere, the text of the oath has been approved by the president of the republic of belarus. in addition, appropriate changes and additions have been made that relate to aspects of the acquisition of citizenship of the republic of belarus by those persons who, due to certain circumstances, for example, spent 90 days outside the country. in the country, in fact , there is a so-called mandatory tax for a certain category of persons who want to become citizens of belarus, that is, they must live on the territory of belarus for 5 years, and in fact, if there is one according to the previous version of the law. stayed outside for 90 days country, then in fact he violated the so-called tsensadusi and could not apply for the acquisition of citizens, now in fact the legislator has made a relaxation for this category of persons, the deadlines for consideration of applications for admission to citizenship of the republic of belarus and leaving the civil republic of belarus have been adjusted, most likely unified, now it is exactly one year in order not to actually discriminate against those persons who are allowed to apply for naturalization and who want to renounce citizenship, because before there were deadlines

different, in addition , the period for consideration of materials on acquiring belarusian citizenship in a simplified registration procedure has been reduced to two... months, this is in relation to ethnic belarusians who return to the territory of the country, for example, who previously had foreign citizenship, the procedure for restoration of citizenship has also been shortened up to 2 months, and 3 months is the established period for consideration of materials on citizenship issues, this applies to those persons who apply for the acquisition of citizenship in a registration or simplified manner in order, approximately 5,000 people a year are considered for acquiring citizenship of the republic of belarus. 100 brave guys gathered in our studio, each of them has a question for an adult: taking off a rocket is like taking off an airplane, what is scarier for you, launching or landing? well, i guess

, or unfortunately. joy was not present in those times when they flew to the moon, but at least alexey arkhievich leonov said that yes, they had a flight, they were there . the heroes of the program will have to open up to the audience. what's for you is strength? well, the common expression is that there is strength in truth, i will say that there is strength in justice. the main task is to honestly answer all the original, and sometimes inconvenient...

i think you’re right and perhaps there is that same boris, it’s enough to behave at a party like the host of the show, at home, in kylo, ​​look, the shokhov tower, oh my god , i usually say this when something surprises me, and it really surprises me, just like we do, the main thing is, let’s do it down. at this point, two foreign students will discover belarusian customs and will introduce belarusians to the cultural characteristics of their countries. here in venezuela

it’s not so easy to walk through swamps; in belarus , even jumping into swamps without shaking is not scary. yeah, 2 3. look at home in the project. on our tv channel. belarus is known for its hospitality and generosity, the hallmark of our country, cleanliness and safety. every year more and more tourists come to our country. one of the reasons is visa-free entry by air, starting this year for citizens of lithuania, latvia and poland .

this is our basis, our target markets in the west, neighboring ones, these are poland and the baltic states, in the temporary our positions along the contour, of course, remain far away for now, but they will inevitably return anyway, and the fact that our top management has given the opportunity to people to come anyway , the numbers speak for themselves, tourists come, but they are not organized, because businesses from our western neighbors are prohibited from working with belarus, banks do not conduct business.

the middle east and india are primarily our target markets because the product, the resource that we have, it falls within the consumption criteria of the indian tourist and, by the way, it is belarus that falls within the framework. here the classic connection is us together with st. petersburg and moscow, us with moscow and kazakhstan, us with moscow and yerevan, and separately yerevan, kazakhstan, bishkek and tashkent without us and moscow, because of course, when a person... is from a distant arc spends his 10-12 days on vacation, he wants to visit the entire soviet space in one trip, see the difference, return with an impression, that’s why our cross-marketing today the combined cross-product you

said is from the eac countries. the most notable sporting event of the year was the second games of the cis countries, which took place in belarus in august, a large-scale sports festival that covered 11 cities, about 6.00 participants arrived, that’s about 400 athletes, as well as coaches, judges, medical staff, sports journalists and foreign fans. participants competed for medals in twenty sports; thanks to the wide geography of the arenas, many belarusians and guests of the country witnessed the games. in preparation for a large-scale celebration the whole country was involved in sports. time to remember how it was. we will present 20 sports, including wrestling, which includes women's freestyle wrestling, freestyle wrestling, and greco-roman wrestling. we also include non-olympic sports. sports, so we tried to collect such an interesting

composition of various sports that have good traditions in the republic of belarus, are also developing in other states that will take part, and i think that this composition is really balanced and it will be of interest, including to belarusian fans, well, foreign guests, many countries are showing interest, some are cautiously interested. someone is actively knocking, so we will be glad to see any states that want to take part in this wonderful multi-sports forum, where we, as organizers , will be able to show our country, the beauty of our regions. the presidential decree, which was signed on may 13, includes one of the clauses that suggests how at large such serious multi-sport forums have.

on our land. the state provides

assistance to national cultural associations that represent a national minority in our country to preserve and develop their culture. and this is an interethnic council under the commissioner, where, just like the leaders of the confession, the leaders of national-cultural associations gather, and this also testifies to how peacefully people of different faiths live. azerbaijanis and armenians are sitting at the same table.

which is held every two years and its capital is the city of grodno, was in 2022 year, representatives of national cultures participate in other holidays, in events that are held in our country, so they feel united, united, and no one can ever say that we have any special conditions for belarusians or for. .. other nationalities, everyone feels themselves.
