Lukashenko: Eliminate urban-rural disparities without erasing village life

Lukashenko: "I am closely monitoring the regions: how people live, whether there is decent work, housing, social facilities and so on. The task facing the vertical of power is to eliminate the differences between city and village as much as possible. But to do it in such a way that the village itself is not erased," emphasized the Head of State.

To achieve this, Belarus is developing support rural settlements (agro-towns and large villages), repairing and building new roads, and continuously raising standards for rural services. Trade is a key aspect in this process.
