The head of state noted that this meeting serves as a concluding event following recent regional working trips and the review of key regional programs, including the development of the Pripyat Polesie region and southeastern part of Mogilev Oblast, land reclamation, and the reintegration of agricultural lands into production. Previously, Vitebsk Oblast was also discussed, with a focus on the measures needed to boost development in the country’s northern region.

Aleksandr Lukashenko stated that he is considering bringing regional development issues to the next meeting of the Belarusian People’s Congress to ensure they are not merely outlined but given serious resonance.
