President of Belarus Aleksander Lukashenko met with Vice Prime Minister Yuri Nazarov and Minister of Industry Pyotr Parkhomchik to accept their report, BelTA correspondent reports.

The meeting focused on the performance and prospects of the industrial sector this year and for the next five years in general.

The President drew attention to further production development at JSC "Grodno Azot". As it is known, the issue is the construction of a new nitrogen fertilizer complex. "How will we build it, for what investment, with whom? However, if we decide to build it, it means we must do it, as it is a promising enterprise. It will be the main enterprise of a five-year plan. Of course, we will not build it for five years, but, nevertheless, we need to build a modern enterprise to produce nitrogen fertilizers. Because there is currently a demand and it will grow. Because there is a lack of food in the world. And there is no food without fertilizers," Aleksander Lukashenko said.
