Nuclear plant construction and satellite launch projects will become a good impetus to further intellectual development of the Belarusian state, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said during a meeting with the students of Belarusian State University.
“Launching a satellite and construction of a nuclear plant are not ordinary things. “An intellectual breakthrough” is needed to become a space power. To train nuclear plant personnel we are, in fact, creating a separate school in science and education. Then we will be able to “sell” our knowledge, skills earning money in this way for the country. This is why we inject funds in the development of high and modern technology, the President added.
Alexander Lukashenko expressed confidence that a nuclear plant is needed to enhance Belarus’ economic and energy independence.
