Lukashenko: Nature is of absolute priority
Aleksandr Lukashenko and Andrei Khudyk
MINSK, 1 February (BelTA) – Belarus will continue to pay close attention to environmental protection, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Belarus Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Andrei Khudyk to receive his report on 1 February, BelTA has learned.
“Nature is an absolute priority for me. It is the priority of priorities. There is nature, there is life. No nature, no life. The worse we treat nature, the worse we live. I have always paid and will continue to pay the most serious attention to environmental protection. Our water resources, forests, lowlands, which supply most of the oxygen in Belarus, and so on - we have to conserve it and guard it as the apple of our eye. Most importantly, we should live in harmony, no matter how pompous it may sound, but it is true,” the president said.
