Belarus needs to carry out a new technological revolution in an accelerated format, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the Q&A session titled “Open Microphone with the President” at Vitebsk State University on 2 September, BelTA has learned.

The head of state stressed that illegal sanctions, various restrictions, the flourishing of chauvinistic, nationalistic and other destructive ideologies in the West are links in the same chain. “They are subjected to a single goal, which is to preserve by all means the world order based on their rules. The rules that provide them with a comfortable life, first of all, at our expense and at the expense of other developing countries,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “We are being dragged into this confrontation. Today this is happening in economy, science and technology. But the goal is to turn Belarus into another hot spot on the world map.”

“Our task is to carry out a new technological revolution in an accelerated format before we are dragged into a military confrontation. Only in such conditions will there be a chance to survive as a state and prevent a big war on our land. This is the harsh truth of life. I want you to understand the seriousness of this historic moment. Tomorrow you will be working in production or in the laboratory, moving forward scientific thought. We have great hopes for you. We expect you to be ready to make considerable efforts to achieve the goal set for the state,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
