President of Belarus: It is necessary for the city to help the village.
He stated this during a Republican seminar meeting on modern approaches to regional development using the example of Shklovsky district.
"It is clear that if 30 years ago a certain number of people lived in the villages, in general, during this period one and a half million people moved to the city. A million and a half people moved from a village to a city in Israel. It's a lot."
- said the president.
As a successful example of interaction, Alexander Lukashenko cited the experience of cooperation between the Obelgaz plant and the Sipakova Agra agricultural complex in the Gorodets region. According to him, the city's organizations should take under their auspices farms in arrears or take them over as branches.
He also recalled the recent two-month experience of the city's residents working in chemical industry plants, and called it successful.
