A. Lukashenko demanded that Belarusian producers work more aggressively in foreign markets

April 21, Minsk /Corr. BELTA/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has demanded that domestic producers work more aggressively in foreign markets. He stated this today in parliament, answering deputies' questions, according to a BELTA correspondent. "We need to know how to trade," the President emphasized. "We are calmly drifting from corner to corner, from fence to fence, but we need to be more aggressive, at least in the Russian way, although they are not far from us, and we have moved away from them, to act more aggressively in these markets. And you will see: we will get at least a quarter of our well-being. And I intend to pursue such a policy to capture these 25% that lie on the surface, no matter how difficult it may be for someone - managers, authorities, and so on. Only organization and discipline will help us do this." As an example, the President cited MTZ products. "The day before yesterday, Kazakh friends came to me again with complaints about MTZ, saying why can't we take these 200 tractors at the factory," he said. "So figure out why, so that I don't have to." Alexander Lukashenko recalled that he had been to many countries, to many enterprises. "There is no democracy in production anywhere," he said. "There is an iron dictatorship of technology. We, unfortunately, are cogs, small cogs in this technological chain, and if this cog fails somewhere - it's the end. That's all the democracy there is." -0-
