President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko does not rule out the possibility of transforming the "Bellegprom" concern into a ministry. He stated this while approving Nadezhda Lazarevich for the position of head of the concern, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"It is effectively a ministerial position. We still need to look into reforming the management system. Perhaps create a ministry without all these concerns. If it is necessary, adding something here, taking something away there. We will look into this separately," said the head of state.
Alexander Lukashenko noted that both the Presidential Administration and the government inform him that the situation in the concern is not simple. "For various reasons. And, always treating some information with distrust, in this case, I believe that the situation there is not simple," said the President.
"This sector needs to be salvaged. These are people. People need to be fed and clothed. We seem to have fed them. And clothed them. But we must not lose all of this," the head of state instructed.
