April 15, Minsk /Vladimir Matveev - BELTA/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko criticized the government for its weak performance in import substitution. He stated this today at a meeting on current issues of socio-economic development of Belarus, BelTA correspondent reports. "But we have already gone so far, and I am not saying this to the first government composition, that we cannot produce our own toothpicks, diapers, and other goods in the country," said Alexander Lukashenko. "Import substitution has been handled very poorly." The head of state also pointed out shortcomings in actively promoting domestic products abroad. "We have not yet learned to sell what we produce, to sell what we produce at a higher price," the President emphasized.-0-
