Vitebsk hosted an award ceremony for the country's best machine builders

At a ceremonial meeting at the Vitebsk Concert Hall dedicated to the professional holiday, about 70 of the country's best machine builders were honored with awards.

First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Belarus Maksim Ryzhenkov read out a congratulatory address from Alexander Lukashenko, which included the following words: "We proudly honor all employees and veterans of the industry for your work, thanks to which Belarusians can use modern domestic transport, computer, television, and household appliances.

Today, the machine-building complex is a key sector of the economy, concentrating the main technological and intellectual competencies for solving strategic tasks – preserving the sovereignty of our state and improving people's living standards. I am convinced that you will continue to perform your work responsibly and professionally, increase the output of science-intensive and competitive products, and strengthen the positions of Belarusian manufacturers in foreign markets."

As a gift from the country's machine-building complex, Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Petr Parkhomchik presented the hospitable Vitebsk region with a certificate for a GS12A1 PRO grain harvesting combine, which was accepted by Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Anzhelika Nikitina.
