Petrishenko, Mezentsev discuss Union State Media Company, its mission

“We are constantly exchanging information on the progress in the implementation of a number of decisions taken by our presidents and heads of government. Today we are discussing the decision to establish the Union State Media Company. This decision needs dynamic practical realization as the former format of Union State coverage was recognized as insufficient. Our citizens are not well informed about the Union State programs and other matters. It is important to bring this information to our people more promptly,” Igor Petrishenko said.

He also congratulated Ekaterina Abramova, Director of the Union State Media Company, on her appointment. “This is a very important, responsible and challenging job. We are ready to provide all possible help and assistance to get this company up and running in a short time,” Igor Petrishenko emphasized.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. The Supreme State Council adopted a plan to celebrate this date. “We are improving and overhauling a number of facilities in Brest Hero Fortress. As for the sacred place for our peoples, Buinichi Field, this year envisages the allocation of resources to jointly implement this truly ambitious project,” he stated.

In turn, Dmitry Mezentsev pointed out the growing relevance of integration work and increasing number of tasks, including on the humanitarian agenda. “We think that we all will help establish the Union State Media Company. The most important thing is to ensure that people receive objective, extensive, meaningful information about the Union Sate, about our history, about those events that require a careful review in the chronicles of the Belarusian and Russian peoples. We need new content,” he emphasized.
