"You have nowhere to put people." Lukashenka inspired Uzbeks to settle the depopulated Mogilev region
During a working trip to the Orsha district, Alexander Lukashenka once again returned to the issue of inviting numerous workers from Uzbekistan to work in Belarus. Especially since the visit of the Khakim (head) of Uzbekistan's Andijan region, Shukhratbek Abdurakhmanov, was timed perfectly for this occasion.
Lukashenka advised the Uzbek guest not to limit himself to the Vitebsk region, but to immediately go and settle the depopulated south-east of the Mogilev region.
"Don't get too fixated on the Vitebsk region. We have an entire South-East with a specific program. We will not cancel it. Perks and other benefits — the South-East of the Mogilev region, where also people... But the lands there are better than his. So you also look. There's simply his, simply the South-East! Take the whole territory there, produce. The main thing there is people."
When Shukhratbek Abdurakhmanov said that Lukashenka himself had previously directed him to work with the Vitebsk region, Lukashenka did not listen to him:
"You did that correctly. And further... Well, what are these 7 or 8 districts to you? You need to look at the South-East as well. What is my interest? People. There aren't enough people there, and you have nowhere to put people. Especially in the Andijan region. Let them come and work. Therefore, both to Vitebsk and there. But we must decide on this. The government is currently working to put on your table how many people are needed, what kind of personnel should be there, and so on. If they don't know how, let them learn. They will teach them quickly here, in six months. And in the Vitebsk region too. The main thing is to have the desire."
On July 9, during the visit of Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Belarus, Belarus and Uzbekistan signed an intergovernmental agreement on organized recruitment and employment of citizens of Uzbekistan for temporary work in Belarus.
