Vyacheslav Kebich
 THE
Prime Minister of Belarus, one of the states of erstwhile Soviet Union,
Vyacheslav Kebich was in Delhi some time back to exchange views and
enter into bilateral treaties with India in the fields of culture and
industry.
Kebich has been in the
forefront in ushering in the era of market economy in his country. He
has won plaudits from his countrymen in evolving a progressive foreign
policy. In his own country he also liberalised many public institutions
which were earlier under the central administration and gave them the
autonomy to administer themselves.
A graduate in mechanical engineering
from Minsk, Kebich won several awards for his outstanding performance in
his long career as an engineer. These achievements brought him into
political limelight and in 1990 he became the chairman of Belarus
council of ministers. During his stay in Delhi he met the leaders of the
government and acquainted himself with its functioning. There was no
strict protocol to meet him. He was happy to get his picture made and
signed it.
