15.09.2026
MINSK (
BelTA) – Parliamentarians need to make full use of their powers to implement adopted decisions, Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Igor Sergeyenko said during the first meeting of the fourth session of the House of Representatives of the eighth convocation on 15 September, BelTA has learned.
According to the speaker, the constitutional reform and the 2025 presidential election clearly demonstrated the people’s trust in the government and their commitment to an evolutionary path of development. “The Belarusian People’s Congress is already operating as a constitutional body, and we serve as its delegates. Our key task, including for the upcoming session, is to make the most of the available powers for the practical implementation of the adopted decisions. This was exactly what the head of state emphasized during our recent meeting,” Igor Sergeyenko said.
He stressed that the top priority is building a legislative framework to achieve the goals of Belarus’ social and economic development program for 2026–2030.
The speaker of the House of Representatives pointed out that the fourth session commenced as the nation marks two major historical milestones: the Day of People’s Unity, celebrating the reunification of the Belarusian people into a single state, and the 30th anniversary of the first Belarusian People’s Congress – a pivotal turning point in building a truly sovereign and independent Belarus
“It was the president’s unyielding political will that in 1996, with the direct involvement of the citizens, paved the way for a completely new model of Belarusian statehood,” he emphasized.
Igor Sergeyenko noted that the work of all branches of government reflects a collaborative approach focused on safeguarding national interests. He added that the bicameral parliament has served as a foundation for optimal and, above all, reality-grounded legislative solutions that ensure peaceful and dynamic social progress.
“At the core of our state values are concepts deeply meaningful to us: labor and creation, the desire to be masters of our own land, openness to dialogue, and a total rejection of radicalism in all its forms,” the speaker of the House of Representatives added. Recalling the head of state’s remark that “great things are best seen from a distance,” he noted that this is truly the case. “Life clearly proves that our chosen political course is the right one,” Igor Sergeyenko stressed.
According to him, amid large-scale geopolitical shifts, wars, and conflicts, Belarus remains a haven of security, where people do not have to worry about the lives of their families and friends. Enterprises are operating dynamically, the economy and export potential are on the rise, and food security is firmly secured. The interests of ordinary citizens are protected by law, and the welfare state has become a signature trademark.
