Moreover, party's election platform was created at the congress. According to the platform, the NSDP advocates multiple increase in wages, pensions and benefits, reduction of unemployment, tax cuts for businesses, promulgation of the terms of commodity contracts dating back to 1990s,
and revision of these contracts if their terms do not meet the interests of the country.
