Lukashenko presents five-year program

President Alexander Lukashenko summed up the results of the session of the VII Supreme National Assembly (SNA) and announced the adoption of a five-year program for modernization and renewal of all spheres of life in Belarus. During the second meeting in the National Assembly, a number of new constitutional powers were implemented for the first time: the composition of the highest judicial bodies was renewed, and the key document of state planning for the medium term—the program for the upcoming five-year period—was approved. According to the President, "the adopted program is a project for modernization and renewal of all spheres of life. It takes into account achievements of previous years, current challenges, and our capabilities. Yes, the tasks set for the five-year period are challenging, but not unattainable. We have never suffered from overambitious scheming, we have always made realistic plans, moving forward steadily, step by step. And the implementation of what has been planned is in our hands."
