Volfovich read out Lukashenko's welcome speech to MILEX-2023 participants
The State Secretary of the Security Council, Aleksandr Volfovich, has read out a welcoming speech on behalf of the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, to the participants and guests of the 11th international arms and defence technology expo MILEX-2023
"Dear friends, I cordially welcome the organisers, participants and guests of the International Exhibition of Arms and Military Machinery MILEX-2023," he said. “Minsk is once again hosting a representative forum, which presents a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the best samples of military and dual-use products for not only specialists, but also the widest range of interested parties. This time, the integration weapons expo takes place in the year of the 20th anniversary of the State Authority for Military Industry, so the Belarusian part of the exposition will become a kind of demonstration of the most advanced developments of our domestic defence sector – including those made with the use of high technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as of innovative civilian products launched due to the diversification of some industries. I am convinced that MILEX-2023 will contribute to the further exchange of experience, the continuation of an open and trusting partnership dialogue, the development of international military-technical co-operation aimed at maintaining peace and stability in all regions of the world. I wish you all good health, productive work and long-term mutually beneficial contracts."
