February 17, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has signaled his intention to put private and state-owned companies on an equal footing at his meeting with about 20 private company executives in Minsk today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government should ensure comfortable conditions for businesses, he said, noting that private companies account for half of Belarusian GDP, 37 percent of industrial production and one-third of all investments, his press office reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials should treat businessmen with respect, he said. “Should it happen that someone got too full of himself and came to insult them, it should not go unnoticed. You let me know about it . . .  and I will take drastic measures. No one should insult and humiliate anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler praised e-services for businesses, legislative amendments regulating entrepreneurial activities, the fight against red tape and assistance to small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking part in the meeting were farmer Ihar Abram\u010dyk, Alaksandar Badziaka of Technalit, Aleh Dziarabin of Po\u017eSnab, Tatyana Kim of Wildberries, U\u0142adzimir Pachoma\u016d of Freshpack Solutions, Valiancin Pikul of KOMPO, Siarhiej Savietnika\u016d of AluminTechno and Andrej Sidara\u016d of Vicbudtechma\u0161, according to the press office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
