“Minsk Oblast is not only a foundation. The potential that you have represents a miniature copy of the country's economy. You have everything, all industries, all forms of economic management,” the Belarusian leader stressed.
The head of state remarked that some time ago Minsk Oblast was lagging behind, but the situation has improved in recent years. “There were enough lies and false reporting. There were many things.
