Chairman of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko sent congratulations on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia. BELTA was informed about this by the press service of the Belarusian leader. "I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia.

In a short period by historical standards, we have achieved a lot and can rightly be proud of our successes," the head of state noted.

The President emphasized: "Despite challenging external conditions, we have managed to prevent a decline in production, maintain employment, and the dynamics of economic development. Competitive innovative products are being manufactured, and high-tech projects are being implemented in nuclear energy, automotive and machine tool manufacturing, and transport. The share of domestic components and developments is growing. Step by step, we are entering new markets, and the course has been set to reduce costs and improve the quality of allied goods and services." Alexander Lukashenko noted that Belarus and Russia are confidently moving towards scientific and technological sovereignty and are finding the necessary reserves for further development. "Tangible results are evident not only in traditional sectors. Real successes, genuine breakthroughs have been achieved in such complex, science-intensive areas as materials science, aircraft manufacturing, microelectronics, and space research. For the first time in the history of independent Belarus, a Belarusian cosmonaut is working on the ISS," the President noted. "But the most important thing is that the union has a clearly expressed social orientation. Citizens of both countries enjoy equal rights and guarantees, and can truly feel the benefits of living, working, studying, and traveling within the Union State without restrictions. And this is far from a complete list of achievements that allow millions of Belarusians and Russians to look to the future with confidence." In the opinion of the head of state, the unity of our fraternal peoples has been shaped by common culture, worldviews, and history, which we sacredly preserve and protect. "In July of this year, we will jointly celebrate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders, and in May 2025, the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War – two most important dates in the lives of the Belarusian and Russian peoples as a memory of the feat of heroic ancestors who gave peace and freedom to the peoples of Europe, and an example of unity, resilience, and solidarity for all of us," Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.
"On this solemn day, I congratulate you, dear friends, on our common holiday and sincerely wish you good health, peace, happiness, and well-being," the head of state noted.Lukashenko's Congratulations on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and RussiaDear friends!I cordially congratulate you on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia.
