Lukashenko: sports development was and is a priority of Belarus’ state policy

The development of sport has always been and still is a priority of Belarus’ state policy, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at the session held to discuss the development of summer sports. «Good results in sport are the main indicator. Every victory relies on the hard work of professional people», the Belarusian leader said. The president deemed it necessary to ensure maximum efficiency of government investments in sport. «If you determined priority sports, please inject major human and material resources in these sports», he said. The president said that the results in summer sports leave much to be desired in spite of the level of support provided to these sports. The results of Belarusian rowers, trampoline gymnasts and wrestlers were quite good. The president instructed to create necessary conditions for talented athletes, especially top athletes.
