This parliament that needs to adopt all the laws in the development of the updated constitution. We would like to note in the work of our legislators. Well you absolutely right. Yes 5 years have passed. And it seemed to me that it was quite recently. In fact, its already been such a decent period of time that weve been dating. Well , maybe in another studio. This is true. You know, things were really tense. I would say interesting work. I really like it. Ive always thought about how legislators work. But then, when i am now deeply involved in this work and am the chairman of the council of the republic of the National Assembly of the republic of belarus, i understand that this is really a very interesting job, because it comes from life. And everything that we do. We are primarily about working with people. These are the issues that are most relevant today, which need to be considered in legislative acts in the draft laws that we are considering and, of course, first of all, first of all for us. This is work with bills. But more than that , you know we have an Expert Council, which is a good help for working on bills, this is first of all. And, of course, working with people. We are the organ territorial representation, our members of the council of the republic work all in the regions , each doing their own thing. And besides this, well, or vice versa, maybe, because after all, member of the council of the republic is a fairly high title that one can only be proud of. Of course, we all work a lot together with people, and i pay a lot of attention to this. Well, of course, working with the deputy corps at all levels. This is our job. This is our area of ​​responsibility, so we always invite them to our meetings if the session is not with us together, deputies from Village Councils are chairmen of Regional District Councils of deputies, and necessarily Regional Councils of deputies. That is, we are all together. In addition, we have Expert Councils, an expert advisory council, and a council that interacts with local government authorities, so we have a very serious and interesting school, and it seems to me that this is a good school for anyone. Who is a member of the council of the republic, even in their professional growth . In the future, well then, well, you just touched on Expert Council, yes, on behalf of the president. It should shed light on the viability of the draft laws of our country and the experts are learned invited experts. Yes, narrow specialists in specific areas. What areas will undergo this xray in the near future, brother sergeevich, you know, the expert advice was, in my opinion, a very wise decision. This is not only the consideration of bills. Absolutely not. This is a consideration, but almost all normative and legal ones are not, those that are supposed to be signed in the head states and Expert Council yes, we have identified members of the Expert Council there, but believe us every time. We invite those people who are deeply immersed in this topic that we will consider to consider this or that issue. Well, if this is a sport, then we can invite a coach, just the director of a childrens sports school, if this is the culture of the head of some Cultural Institution or several. That is, we invite absolutely everyone who knows, well , the question that we will study and consider this first. Thats what i would like to say. Well, then you know, you also need to understand how relevant this alternative legal act is today, and therefore during our work of our Expert Council it has been 2 years. So it was formed in june 2021, there was an order. We reviewed more than 200 legal acts. And we immediately approved and supported only a third, right away, and some were rejected altogether, because, well, we believe that this is not relevant at all and will be. Not clear for society for our population, those issues that were submitted for consideration, but a number of normative legal acts. We simply gave our critical remarks, which are either used in the future or maybe we have some endont discrepancies somewhere, but these are our theses. You always see the head of state, the president of our country. And i think he undoubtedly takes this into account when signing the laws and regulations that we are considering at the expert meeting. Advice for example, i realized that, in principle, any person is a narrow specialist. Why is this an ordinary person, maybe yes, also a Primary School teacher, or there to educate or coach . As you said, the athlete, yes, who are specialists in their field, he can influence the process completely and moreover, we invite you know, even sometimes we hold a reception on personal issues and i see that a person has come with interesting thoughts with interesting initiatives and we will be considering this at the Expert Council in the near future because the materials have already arrived. We invite him to our meeting. And this very interesting. Well, what bills will be considered in the near future, of course. These are the ones that the government has already considered today ; this is the budget for 2024 this is the program for Socioeconomic Development and forecast indicators for 2024. Just one of these days we will consider these issues at a meeting of the Expert Council and our expert has already sent these materials perfectly and i understand that women never cease to amaze. I know that one of your receptions, one of yes, on the twentythird of february this year, lasted 11 hours and 43 minutes. This is a gift for men on defender of the fatherland day or routine work, that is, a common practice. Well, you know marat sergeevich well, it happened, it didnt work out in my column. The third of february, and in fact this is exactly the case every time, if people come to see me, then i accept until i accept all those who came, either by appointment, but we try to preregister people, well, they often come on their own initiative, so i have no right to leave without meeting those people who came to see me. Although of course, i already understand this, somewhere very quickly, but at the same time, you know, sometimes even in such a short meeting. You can draw certain conclusions for yourself, which are really very important today not only for this person who came with his question. And you can identify such a rational grain that will be useful to you in your work in the future. I really dont want to talk exclusively about work issues today, so let me ask a question. Necessary but difficult here is 2020, be that as it may. Yes, we must draw certain conclusions from it, and it is obvious that it was farewell to illusions in many ways. Yes, belarus became a bifurcation point for the western world, and we all missed this year and drew conclusions. In the twentieth, we saw you every day with an absolutely clear position with clear thoughts and without a shadow of doubt or fear. Well, after all, this year has left a scar on your soul. Thats how he left scars on so many. I , too, you know sergeevich, i absolutely do not i agree with our president when Alexander Grigorievich said that if 2020 had not happened, it would have to be invented, this is absolutely true, and the truth is that you said that we have parted with some illusions that we, perhaps they lived, then it is absolutely true that the side that existed before 2020 will no longer exist. We understand this too. Yes i have many times. Since coming back from 2020, its true, ive been thinking about this a lot. Why did they do this . Why not some of our fellow citizens . Uh, there are friends friends, this was also the case, you know , to say that i have a scar, i wouldnt say it, ill tell you sincerely. And i really never had a shadow of a doubt that reason would prevail and everything in our country would be absolutely fine. I was deeply confident and firmly confident in this, because i understood and knew. What country we live in and what kind of power there is in our country and in this, i never doubted this was true. But what we have to return to is this. Yes, because you understand that this cannot be allowed and not even the unrest that was there, but and those people who came out there with ideas of what they were doing or without a clue, as many are now talking about it, but because thats exactly who they are. Events can lead to the worst thing that we can lose the world, and then it will really be scary. For everyone, for every person who lives in our country and for the country as a whole. So, thats why we just have to do everything to prevent this from happening, we just have to live , work, do, everyone has their own business, which you you work honestly and openly for the good of your country for the good of your people. And these are absolutely not pretentious words. Absolutely not pretentious words. Then, of course, we will have peace, tranquility, sovereignty, and we will be clearly confident in our future. Look at this. We saw the president in the twentieth. Not just with a specific position. It was a landmark, which at a certain moment gave strength to so many. I speak for myself, including many people with whom i communicated, especially on the 16th. Yes, this is the performance at Independence Square and when he came out with a machine gun to defend the country literally in this sense. And they saw you. Naturally, we saw many people, and at the same time, we did not see many. And this is the criterion, yes, to a certain extent. You are the head of the council of the republic, and you clearly understand now, for sure, what kind of people should be in parliament, what kind of people should be in the councils of the republic, you will Pay Attention to precisely that fact, and where were these people who worked at that time . Time by parliamentarians twentieth year, and how they introduced themselves from the point of view of protecting the state. I thought, when you said, uh, i voiced this question about what to say and im thinking about saying. Thats what came to my mind right away, uh, but i thought i should say it. You know many, well , thats what ive heard. So she constantly supports the president , everywhere she refers to theses and speaks to the president. Yes, this is indeed true, when i began to work next to this leader with our leader. I saw that this is a person who really thinks. Country and about everyone person in this country and with him we will definitely live in a sovereign , calm country, and therefore i calmly perceived these events, understanding that there is a head of state who, you know, well, i always say, how in a good family there is always a good husband, father, on whom you can rely, and here you understood that there is a man who will not betray your country, will not betray his people , and this means the future of your children and all those who live today in our country, so, of course, i i know how it will turn out. You understand that we are also members of the council of the republic, we also have elections, we are only indirectly elected, but the deputy corps is elected, which, uh, will come to work, so my criteria and approaches for those who come to work in parliament, the council of the republic in the house of representatives , certainly. These must be people absolutely devoted to their country, absolutely devoted to theirs. To the people and absolutely sharing this policy that is being pursued in our country, and to the politicians in our country the ordinary ordinary and simple this is a person, this is a person, and in the last time we met with the president , my colleague , the speaker, the upper house of uzbekistan , the president said that our ordinary politics is ordinary life. And these are honest people who are not afraid to go out to people, not afraid to talk to people, not afraid to solve the questions that people ask them and help people. These are the ones who should come and work. This is paramount. This is the key task. When they nominate their candidates, and when labor collectives collect signatures, people must understand who will come and who will work in the legislative body of our country, the National Assembly, of course, this is a criterion, which, first of all , is absolutely good attitude and love. We will this is an immutable truth, otherwise it will not work. Well, its hard not to agree, it s true, but look at our conversation in the past. We talked a lot about the role of women in politics. Do not consider it sexist, but this is deja vu. Yes, the first belarusianuzbek womens forum ended recently, however, these are the events that you probably followed the whole country, because, firstly, it was interesting, and you met with tonzila narbaeva. So thats what we agreed on, natalya kochanova, and she took normaleva there. You know, but first of all, we agreed that in general this is the first sign of our joint projects. Well, i mean between our chambers and the upper chambers, because, well , we really havent held such an event at this level, but we saw that today this is, perhaps, not only womens business. Forum it can be mero. Those that are connected with the humanitarian sphere in terms of culture, education, sports, tourism, which is important, of course, these are economic. The aspect is cooperation in light industry, which, by the way , is interesting to women, its always some kind of new models there, and an exchange of opinions, which is important. We concluded for ourselves that the economic component of the form is, of course, very important, but 90 to 100 million agreements that were signed within the framework of this forum. This is very good, but no less important when our women and colleagues become friends from belarus and uzbekistan and i know that they have developed such a friendship over these days that they already have each others contacts. They are already exchanging and moreover, we preliminary, of course, calculated and looked at what contracts would be signed , agreements, but they already appeared within the framework of this forum. New ones are right on the move, when we introduced a Plenary Session they brought me notes of hryvnia, money, ivanovna , we will sign another agreement. This is amazing. It is important. Yes . Here we clearly concluded for ourselves that first, but this is only the beginning of the great work that our colleagues should be engaged in. Members of the council of the republic and, yes, the senate of uzbekistan but the frequency of this was somehow mentioned, as if we were talking about it, and i generally thought that well maybe its not an annual thing. E background, because you know we always hold very largescale belarusian russian forums. Uh, weve already held quite a lot with our colleagues from russia, were preparing 10 forums, and were preparing the next one, which will be held here in belarus Eleventh Forum of regions of belarus russia but my colleague. You took the kamalan, said natalya ivanovna, next year we will host the forum and thats why we are now working out, so to speak, the road map of our cooperation and all these agreements that were announced during the course of it, it was not just a business advantage, it was more the official visit of my colleague to the republic of belarus, which were announced during the visit and forum. Well put it all down. This is truly a program of our actions that will allow us to more closely and cooperate fruitfully. Although i will say, you know, when we began to prepare for this forum and began to consider the visit, the cooperation that exists between our countries. Of course, we saw that today this is very active cooperation in absolutely all areas and, of course, with the main ideologists. This is the heads of our state, the president s, their good relations , their tasks that were set before us by all government bodies. This is holding largescale events. These are, of course, contacts at the regional level cooperation is what Alexander Grigorievich said at the meeting with my colleague, of course. We will implement all this , there is no doubt about it, because we have become closer and we have become friends. This is what is very important. This is the main thing. Look here. I am very close to your message that the implementation of many projects. Yes, you can solve it through the grand for startups. We saw what our active cowardice is really capable of, yes, but , unfortunately, in some moments, we were mourned by foreign grants and there were projects there, starting from the protection of birds. Yes reached for women who have suffered from violence. But who today can finance such undertakings from our state and for its benefit sergeevich, well, thats all. Its just that we are already actively working in this direction. And you know, you absolutely correctly said, we saw that under the good faith of these grants, those projects that our western colleagues offered us. Yes, and we saw that this is in many ways. Aimed at destructiveness and normalization of our country, and therefore when with the initiative of its such a policy in grants were introduced by deputies at a meeting with deputies of the grodno region. They initiated and made such a proposal. Our Youth Council suggested that lets take a look. Lets form our own programs, interesting competitions, announce grants that and form grants that will be in demand. Today in our society, because there is a request for this, Alexander Grigorievich thank you very much. He immediately supported this idea and already in 2021 the Development Bank financed a million belarusian rubles for the implementation of such grant policy, which was carried out in our country. And now this has already been regulated by law and sources of financing have already been identified in the budget for 2024. This is about two million belarusian rubles, but here, of course, we provide cofinancing. That is, those who will apply for a competition that will be announced in one direction or another. Well, as a rule, this is the improvement of the equipment of burial places, perhaps some such programs that today are aimed at the Patriotic Education of our youth, then, of course, there should still be all the funding from those who will apply to participate in this competition to win this grant. Well, look now and the belarusian women, frankly speaking, with the support of the president with your yes , he really began to
