Trade in general, if we talk about industry, then these leaders, they have remained unchanged for several months, mechanical engineering, machine tool manufacturing, and oil refining, chemical industry, these are the drivers in the industry, if we talk about construction, construction is gaining momentum every month, and we can already see that if the total added value of construction is 104. 5 , this mainly adds to construction and installation work and contracting work. This is an intensification or acceleration of the pace of Housing Construction , including we see the implementation of investment projects, exports are on the rise in 7 months, they added more than 6 , and their value volumes set a new maximum over the last 10 years. Such indicators were achieved only in 2012. Consumer activity is growing, which is also facilitated by record low inflation. For reference , deflation was generally recorded in august, which means a decrease in prices. Mainly. Due to food and fruit and vegetable products. Meanwhile , enterprises of the ministry of industry began to sell more for export. How is your sales geography expanding . Industrial production in belarus increased by more than 16 over 8 months. They began to produce more cars, dump trucks, combine harvesters, trucks, elevators, and televisions. Exports increased by almost 19 . Supplies to the cis countries, russia, uzbekistan, and kyrgyzstan have expanded, and other countries are actively developing cooperation with africa. At the end of the year. It is expected that more than 30 billion rubles worth of commercial products will be produced, and exports will approach 7 billion dollars, the Innovative Development of an enterprise is a Constant Movement forward, just like investment development, the machines that enterprises purchase today are potentially they must understand that in 10 years they will be entering in the next new investment cycle, this is like a bunch of products that we work on plus the market. These are, as it were, the components of success. The enterprises do not stop working on import substitution ; there are many projects together with russian partners in the trend, for example, machinetool construction; we expect to create a Union Machine tool, exclusively from components from belarus and russia. By the way, the achievement in industry was presented at the International Exhibition iprom kazakhstan. Belarus also presented a National Exposition. With which our manufacturers came with a package of proposals, which of them were of interest to our partners . 30 Belarusian Enterprises presented their technology products. The expected amount of commercial proposals is about 40 million. It must be said that foreign industry this time was amazed by the scale of the total exhibition area of almost 12,000 km, of which 6,000 are outdoor exhibitions of equipment that demonstrate the industrial potential of the eurasian union. The National Exposition of our country is more than 700 km. Many industrial giants are represented. For example, maz, belkomun, gomselsh, mogilev, lift. Mash, integral and many other flagships, among the participants of the belolekprom concern, the organization, as well as the National Academy of sciences, today the five eac are working closely on cooperation. Taking this opportunity, i urge all eac partners to be more actively involved in the development of such crosscutting projects that will utilize the potential of all member countries. As part of the eac , a roadmap for cooperation in the aircraft industry was signed this year. Key. Whose task is to form in the eurasian space of cooperation chains of Civil Aviation industry enterprises. We brought many of our new products to the forum, for example, a hydroplane, we have been producing it for the second year, almost two dozen flying machines have been assembled, and this is an example of import substitution, intended for medical work, forest patrol work, agricultural work for spraying and special tasks. Here is a drone, here is a canister, you see, yes, this is. It allows you to load up to 20 liters of various mixtures for spraying agricultural crops. Ready to collect forest Fire Equipment and other equipment for rescuers, as well as agricultural machinery. For a specific request and climate conditions, by the way, kazakhstan plans to update up to 10 of aggregates for the Agricultural Sector per year, we have what is needed for the fields. Our interests also include new products in a variety of fields from microelectronics to household appliances. The image project in bilateral relations between belarus and kazakhstan is the construction of the belarusian quarter in kazakhstan and the kazakhstan quarter here. Premiers take control of projects. Thank you, review prepared by olesya vysotskaya. From the economic sphere not only on the website of our tv channel www. Belarus24. Bi. Concern belgus Food Industry is increasing the volume of production of importsubstituting products. Annual growth is 2530 . The Confectionery Industry is working more actively in this direction. Lets ask igor gruts, head of the department of the belarusian state Food Industry concern, what Innovative Products have already appealed to the belarusians, how much we earn from external supplies. Hello igor. Hello, import substitution has affected literally all industries, what are the dynamics, what are the prospects . Can we say that today we are no longer substituting imports, but are ahead of import trends that are occurring in the market . Yes, indeed, as you said, the belgpiom concern is actively engaged in import substitution, i would even highlight, probably, three areas, the first is definitely the production of consumer goods, and here, indeed, our confectionery enterprises are most active, in particular, from probably the latest projects include the launch of a new line of chocolate bars 4 mm thick, that is, previously there were no analogues, domestic analogues, such products on the market, so we also have quite significant plans, already in october of this year we plan to launch the production of wafer rolls, next year we plan to introduce capacities for the production of soft caramel and wafer slabs in a family pack, that is, everything you need to produce it. Highquality, good equipment and not cheap, of course, but that is , the line of technical reequipment of our Enterprises Continues, of course, our modernization, it literally does not stop for a single day, we are studying what we need to purchase , in what time frame, in order to understand what we can offer to the market, both to the domestic market and, in principle, to external foreign markets, the second direction, i would note, is replacement of Raw Materials, that is, from here, probably the main project that we have. Is the organization in the country of production for the processing of cocoa beans, that is, we will be able to fully satisfy the need of the domestic market for cocoa products, this does not apply only Confectionery Industry, but also a number of related industries, including suppliers have already been identified, the project, in principle, already exists , relevant tenders are being held, and accordingly, well, in the near future , equipment will be purchased and buildings and structures will be built directly, that is, the project has already been launched and the third this is the deepening of processing, in particular in the alcohol industry. We plan to further process Raw Materials to obtain granulated protein feed as output, which , unfortunately, is now the agriculture of our country purchases from foreign countries, that is, this perspective, how many years, how much work has been done on this project, again, this project has been in the Development Stage for 23 years, accordingly, already in 20, 2024 , we plan to directly begin its implementation, the first stage, comprehensive work is underway on imports. Thanks to all the efforts made by our enterprises, concerns, and departments, what products have appeared on the market today, besides 4 mm chocolate, probably, the specifics of the Food Industry are that they are new are produced constantly, that is, literally on a weekly basis, one or another company produces some kind of new product and presents it to the consumer, so to speak, because well , the market dictates what is needed, in what packaging, at what price, and so on. Sometimes, uh, our technologists and marketers, yes, they unite in such a creative tandem that tries to surprise the market with something, tasty and healthy, which is also important, you are developing a separate line for school and preschool food, also a new type of product these are cookies with butter, there is no sugar, relatively speaking, there are healthy snacks in convenient packages, this is how it is developing, how wide is the line of School Preschool meals today . Yes, food for our children is, in principle, a separate niche in which we work. If we take the canning industry separately, then in the country there are more than 85 recipes that can be used to produce labeled products for preschool and schoolage children, but naturally, we dont stop there, and the concerns Enterprises Continue to develop new types of products, in particular, just this year they released a new line of plantbased herbal drinks. That is , there, uh, lets say, uh, soy, uh, nut drinks, oat drinks, and so on, they developed a line of fruit puree in soft packaging of 200 g, again. The tastes are very diverse, apple, pear, mango, bananas, all known , lets say, and familiar to us, fruits, berries, vegetables, so then we, as you correctly noted, also develop confectionery products, and try to make them as healthy as possible for children, for this we involve, in particular , specialists from the scientific, scientific and practical center, the National Academy of sciences of belarus for food, and together with them, that is, we involve science to make our cookies. And not only fruit bars, others sweets that are not only tasty, but healthy. Overall, if you look at the export map, who is buying our Food Products today . Well, probably, again, the forces of specificity, uh, its not a big secret that our main partner is the Eurasian Economic Union and above all the Russian Federation. We must not forget that in the Food Industry taste and preferences play a significant role, therefore, in particular , if we are talking about the russian market, then we can be sure that if these Food Products are popular on the belarusian market, then the russian buyer will also be on the russian market will like it and will buy them, on the other hand, we are neighbors with other integration associations and large european unions, we continue to work with them, and of course we this door has never been closed, we always try to maintain good relations with our partners, in principle, if you look at the numbers that we have, then quantitatively there has been no deterioration, but at the same time, of course, we see that our partners are not always, i mean not counterparties, rather, so to speak, a political component, they are not always friendly towards our country, therefore, we probably cannot consider this market as a potential driver for the growth of our exports, so when there are such doubts in certain markets, our enterprises are actively engaged in diversifying exports, what new markets have opened, where are belarusian Food Products now coming . Lets just say that the new markets for 2023 are mexico and equatorial guinea, we also continue deliveries that began at the end of last year to guinea bissau, iraq, iran, and a number of other countries, with our cooperation with the Chinese People still at a high pace republic, i believe that the potential of this market for us is still completely unexhausted, only in this year we added 30 to the previous period, and our other counterparties are located in the countries of central asia, these are primarily uzbekistan, tajikistan, mongolia, southeast asia, these are vietnam, singapore, south korea, so we have somewhere to sell our products. It would seem that there are still 3 months until the end of the year, quite a lot of time, but the Confectionery Industry is already actively working on creating new years gifts. Will everyone have enough sweets this year . There are certainly enough of them, we plan to produce them. More than 2,400,000 pieces gifts, of which about 2 million will be supplied to the domestic market, this is primarily, well , we are preparing to sell the rest to our partners in the Russian Federation in kazakhstan, azerbaijan, the United States of america and other countries. Thank you very much. Igor grutsa, head of the department of the belgospischeprom concern, answered the programs questions. Next on the program are healthimproving events for children from donbass in belarus, preparation for the final of the 100 ideas competition for the cis, and construction. National football stadium, well be back in the studio in a few minutes. This Program Events on belarus 24 and we continue. A group of children from donbass arrived in belarus for recovery. Lets ask our columnist Svetlana Chernova how the guests were greeted, what program they prepared for the guys. Guys, there are 48 people in the group who came from lisichansk and severodonetsk. They came to our country thanks to the union project. State with the support of the paralympian alexei tolay foundation. This time novopolotsk is hosting the children. The threeweek program is fully scheduled, excursions, sports and entertainment events and, of course, studies. Hello belarus, thank you. Well, it was interesting to look out the window at big cities, we havent seen them for a long time. First of all, i want to get some sleep, yes, i want to get some sleep, then i want to go to school, meet people and make new friends. We are very glad that we came, its so beautiful here, at least we can rest a little, its very difficult without water, yes , we need to wear it all the time, we were glad that we have the opportunity to change the situation for the children, we know belarus as native people, caring, kind, this yours also speaks, when your president speaks, we hear, we we see that he is worried about being. This is the most important thing, we receive a message about help from the regions, and a request to take children out of especially dangerous regions like these. We already had a logistics problem, when under fire we simply could not take children out of the regions, and without exposing their additional, which means there is some kind of danger, a threat to their life, therefore, by god s will, as it turns out, to the best of our ability and readiness, we respond, let me remind you that this is the first autumn group, there will be more, our country is accepting children from. Already the second year, we more than 3,000 children from zaporozhye, mariupol, donetsk and other territories regained their strength. Belarusian inventors are preparing for the final of the 100 ideas competition for the cis. What unique things are you ready to present . A sensor glove for digitizing gestures of people with disabilities, a plant growth regulator, a heterophase extinguishing sprayer and much more. 12 developments were presented at an exhibition at the press house. There, among young inventors, an intensive course was held in an online format with other participants. Competition, some Innovative Developments won twice, for example, a 3d printer, it prepares meat products. The uniqueness of the idea is that all mixtures are of natural composition, this is natural meat, this is not artificial meat, not analogues, not meat substitutes. Whats also unique is that we can individually set the nutritional and biological value of a product to suit the needs of each person , that is, if, for example, the body lacks iron, calcium, or some amino acids, we can model the composition of the product specifically for each person, or you can. Exclude allergens from the composition of the product, this is also very important. The main advantage of our project is the learning function, accordingly, we have already clicked on the learning function in the application, for example, enter the first letter of the alphabet a, respectively, the gesture to the letter a looks like this, for example, bend your hand in a gesture in, accordingly, this is how you start training, accordingly we will be shown a red cross, accordingly we bent our hand in the wrong gesture, those projects that they presented in the final projects 100 idea for belarus and then, what they are now is. A big difference, because they are constantly improving them, adding something new, and it is at such events that they can communicate with the expert community, listen to some recommendations and improve their developments. The International Final of the competition for innovative projects will take place in midoctober, and will be hosted by minsk. A new specialty has appeared at the minsk state linguistic university, who will be trained . Now the school will to train sign language interpreters, the belarusian. Society of the deaf and mglu entered into a cooperation agreement. Previously , specialists in sign language communication were trained at the linguistic and humanities college; at the level of Higher Education in our country, such qualifications will be awarded for the first time in the country; there are about 15,000 deaf people who are hard of hearing. Among them, about 5,000 are people of working age. They need communications, they need support, and the state provides them with this support. Belarus, why are we signing an agreement, because, well, to learn this, yes, this is their task, our teachers, but we believe that our task is to find the right, worthy use for them, we believe that training in a specialist profile will help the number of citizens not only of our country to keep abreast of events , to hear what politicians, leading public figures , cultural figures are talking about, we are laying the foundation for our cooperation, which we are laying today, will definitely help us prepare highly qualified specialists, and most importantly, make this training deeply practiceoriented, the translation faculty in a new profile. 11 people were enrolled as the initiator of the innovation of the ministry of education. The task was set for the university back in the twentyfirst. For 2 years, the university studied International Experience in training specialists, including russian colleagues. A large sports cluster of republican significance will appear in minsk next year. What will the future complex be like . It will be formed by several objects at once on the site between partisan avenue and vaneev street, where today he is building a National Football stadium. He will become dominant. The arena is designed for three. Places, this is a joint chinesebelarusian project, and nearby the reconstruction of the traktor stadium, one of the oldest sports facilities in minsk, has begun. Students will join the work, this will become a youth construction site for the brs, and this fall the ring of glory gymnastics hall, which is located near the tractor, will be put into operation. Naturally, the lawn remains with us, we add along, along the edges, two football training fields 25 by 35, this will be. With we are renovating 15,000 grandstands with artificial turf, we only have a tractor in the stadium, and the rings of fame, to a large extent, we have replaced the stained glass windows. Roof repair, facade bonding, internal redevelopment work for the purpose of more compact and convenient placement as coaching locker rooms. The National Football stadium will be able to host any International Sporting competition. Thank you, the review was prepared by Svetlana Chernova. Belarus is an open and tolerant state, where representatives of of different nationalities and religions, and maintains close ties with the belarusian diaspora. How do we develop cultural ties with compatriots abroad, how do we support multireligious peace in our country, lets ask the commissioner for religious affairs and nationality Alexander Rumak alexander alekseevich, hello. Good afternoon. Just a week ago we held the most beautiful festival of belarusian arts in the world. In your opinion, why are such events important, why is it so important to meet together . Such a festival is held every 3 years. Everyone is looking forward to it, especially our compatriots who live outside of belarus. According to various estimates, about 15 million belarusians live in different parts of the world, and of course, uh, they remember about their homeland, yes, indeed, uh, they want to come here, and i would say this is like a twoway process, because that belarus cares about its compatriots, always remembers, supports them, but belarusians want to come to their homeland, belarus, to show how they preserve belarusianness, develop belarusian culture, far beyond the borders of our country, maybe then we should meet more often, at least once every two years, and not every three, what do you think . Well, various events are held, in addition to the festival, internships are held annually for leaders of National Cultural associations, for belarusian supoloks, and for leaders of groups, amateur artistic performances, the ministry of culture, we also meet in the office of the commissioner for religious and National Affairs in order to discuss, uh, what are the problems, plans for the future, thats why our meetings are held annually, belarus is a multinational country, more than 150 nationalities live here, but at the same time its surprising at the same time its nice to realize that there are no conflicts based on different religious views or interethnic approaches , traditions do not arise, why . Belarus is indeed a multiconfessional, multiethnic country, i would like to remind you that people of twentyfive confessions and religious associations live on belarusian soil, and between them. Peace and agreement. Of course, this is not just given, a lot of work is being done for this by the president of our country , the government, all government bodies, first of all, our country has taken care to legislate the equality of all people, regardless of nationality, religion. Every person has equal rights, both in the social sphere, in the cultural sphere, in the economic sphere, the right to work, and so on. Further, but a number of mechanisms are in place that make it possible to unite all people, regardless of whether the person was born here in belarus or a person came for various reasons and lives on our land. Maybe its also because we dont politicize religion, and this helps us strengthen peace , friendship, and somehow our president , Alexander Grigoryevich lukashenko, said that every person chooses his own path to the temple, and the state does not create any obstacles here , uh, and at the same time, the state seeks to unite everyone, so there is an Interfaith Council under the commissioner for religious affairs and nationality, a meeting will take place this week Interfaith Council, where leaders of all faiths and religious associations will gather so that we can discuss those issues and problems that. Concern everyone and affect everyone equally. The state gives the right to people of different nationalities to develop their traditions, culture, to maintain these connections, how this is implemented in practice, we open some festivals, the opportunity to go there, conditionally to a mosque, to a church, to a church, thats how is this right implemented in practice . The state really provides assistance to National Cultural associations, which represent. The National Minority in our country, to preserve and develop their culture, and this Interethnic Council operates under the authority, where, as well as the leaders of confessions, the leaders of National Cultural associations gather, by the way, the head of the Interethnic Council throughout the entire period of its validity since 2006 , the armenian georgiy anashvanovich yegi azaryan has been and representatives of different nationalities trust him to be such, it was their leader who represented interests in interaction with the state, and this also testifies to how peacefully people of different faiths live , azerbaijanis and armenians, russians, ukrainians, poles, jews, tatars, bashkirs, and of course, the state , sit at the same table , makes other efforts, funds from the republican budget are allocated to the authorized representatives, with these funds we purchase costumes for groups so that they can represent their culture, this is very important, because it fills the culture of the russian. It complements our traditional belarusian culture then in this multicolored culture is one of the factors of the stability of our society , its Cultural Development and provides an opportunity for representatives of different nationalities not only to demonstrate this culture for themselves in their circle, but also to perform at various venues, this. Of course, first of all, the festival of National Cultures, which is held every 2 years, and its capital is the city of grodno, was in 2022, and recently, as part of the days of the city of minsk, there was an opening next festival, which will be held in 2024, well, from the moment of this opening the qualifying stages begin to participate in 2024, of course, representatives of National Cultures participate in other holidays, in events that are held in our country, so they feel ourselves united, united, and no one can ever say that we have any special conditions for belarusians, or for other nationalities, everyone feels equal, this is the guarantee of peace and harmony that exists in our society, maybe also largely due to the fact that belarus does not infringe on anyone religiously, and relatively speaking, lets say, lets remember vitebsk, they recently restored a synagogue there, or we are building an Armenian Church in minsk, now, and in general a lot of work is being done to restore churches, monasteries, in your opinion, why is it important to support this work, why is it important to build these churches , synagogues and monasteries, i want to remind you that we now have almost 3,000 operating. And 197 churches of various denominations are also being built, i think i im convinced that a believer is a person who supports the efforts of the state authorities to maintain peace and tranquility in society, this provides the opportunity for a future for our children, grandchildren and most importantly. Confidence in the future that our country will develop as peacefully and calmly as this now. Thank you very much.
