Lukashenko: Localization is crucial for Belarus

Localization is crucial for Belarus. It is not just an image-building project, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he visited Minsk City Technopark on 16 January, BelTA learned. 

Minsk Mayor Vladimir Kukharev reported to the head of state on the progress in the reconstruction of the technopark site and the prospects for the development of MotoVeloZavod located there. Aleksandr Lukashenko inquired about the problems that have not been solved yet. Vasily Gerasimov, Chairman of the State Control Committee of Belarus, informed the president that there are still issues with the localization of production.

“Localization is the most important issue for us. It is not just a PR exercise. We need to develop our expertise that we inherited from the past generations. MotoVeloZavod is among them. We know how to do it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
