It is time for a radical modernization of the Belarusian economy and science. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko made the statement as he presented diplomas to doctors of science and professor certificates to researchers and educational research workers. Alexander Lukashenko believes that it is important to clearly determine what strategic areas Belarusian scientists should explore on their own, what areas it is advisable to work on together with foreign colleagues, and what foreign research products it is more profitable to buy.
“Those, who are the first to spread a technology, advance to the leading positions in the world. Therefore, well-developed science is one of the things that guarantee the national security,” stressed the President.
