Lukashenko expects "Belarusian Railway" to strengthen its positions and move forward progressively
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the employees and veterans of Belarusian Railways on their professional holiday - Railway Worker's Day. This was reported to BELTA by the press service of the head of state.
"Belarusian Railways is a crucial link in the country's transport system and a source of pride for its people. Every year, you transport over 60 million passengers and more than 100 million tons of various cargo. Everyone who uses the services of Belarusian Railways is absolutely confident in your reliability and punctuality," the congratulatory message reads.
The head of state recalled that the glorious labor traditions of Belarusian railway workers were laid with the opening of the first section in Belarus, Porechye - Grodno. "Since then, several generations of drivers and conductors, dispatchers and station staff, track walkers and repair engineers have proudly worn the uniform of a Belarusian railway worker and responsibly worked for the benefit of their country," Alexander Lukashenko noted.
"I am confident that improving the management of transportation, developing infrastructure and technologies, and increasing the potential of export transport corridors will allow you to further strengthen your positions and continue to move forward steadily," the Belarusian leader emphasized.
The President wished the industry workers, their families and loved ones health, happiness, and new professional achievements.
