Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has appointed Deputy Economy Minister Alexander Yaroshenko as head of a Chinese-Belarusian industrial park, Lukashenko's press service said Thursday.

"I really want you to intensify the work of the park. ... This company is more important for me than your job as a deputy minister," Lukashenko reportedly told Yaroshenko.

The president stressed that the park represents the highest technology.

"We do not need warehouses there, we need enterprises of high level from any country there," Lukashenko said.

The Great Stone park outside the capital city of Minsk will house industrial and residential areas, offices and shopping malls, financial, scientific and research centers.
