As was said on air, before the end of the year the head of state intends to assess the state of affairs at many industrial enterprises.
«An interesting visit is planned to Belkommunmash, our leading manufacturer of electromechanical transport. In recent years, many decisions have been taken on developing pilot towns and converting them to electric bus service: Zhodino, Shklov and Novopolotsk. There have also been decisions on replacing some of the route transport between Minsk and the satellite towns with electric buses, and on the prospects for developing our electric bus cluster, since MAZ is also involved in this type of vehicle production, along with the Stadler plant,» Dmitry Krutoi noted.
The president is also taking a broader interest in how the task of raising electricity consumption is being addressed, given efforts to bring the Belarusian NPP to its design capacity and integrate it into the national energy system.
«The production of electrically powered vehicles is a very promising line of business. There is enormous demand, including from the Russian market, which means serious export opportunities. That is why the president wants to take a comprehensive look at this industry,» Dmitry Krutoi added.
Special attention will also be paid to the agricultural industry. Earlier, Aleksandr Lukashenko himself announced that a major meeting on this industry would be held. One of the main areas of focus will be the flax-growing sector.
«Our industrial flagships are carrying out a number of projects financed partly by Russian loans allocated through the Union State budget. They manufacture products for our Union State market. The president is being invited to visit a number of such production facilities,» the head of the Belarus President Administration said.
Dmitry Krutoi recalled that a decision has already been taken to hold the next meeting of the Belarusian People’s Congress in mid-December, so the head of state «is studying material about the country’s economic performance and progress to fulfill major instructions on developing new industries.»
