On July 23, Grodno / Vladimir Matveev - BELTA /. The state will not abandon the principles of a socially oriented economy. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko today at a meeting on the development prospects of OJSC "Grodno Azot", BELTA correspondent reports. "I will say it simply: the essence of our policy is that all these ammonia, urea, nuts, cows, bulls - all this is nothing compared to a person. Everything should be put at the service of a person," the President said. "Yes, production, but only in the name of one goal - a person. We have been pursuing such a policy for 15 years and will not abandon it." Alexander Lukashenko stressed that production efficiency should not be increased at any cost. He is confident that there is nothing wrong with the fact that there are certain social burdens on enterprises in Belarus. "Every person, in addition to their salary, should have the opportunity to go to sanatoriums, but the most important thing is children, so that the workers of this team have the opportunity to take their child to kindergarten, send them to school, and for the enterprise to bear responsibility for this. This is the highest goal of any person, and no market relations will replace this." -0-
