Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko has sent greetings to the people of Estonia as the country celebrates a national holiday, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian leader.
“The emergence of the independent Estonian state on the political map of the world in the last century was the beginning of its contemporary history. Self-determination gives not only attractive prospects but also responsibility for the fate of your people. It demonstrates maturity and firm belief in the future for descendants,” the message of greetings reads.
The president remarked that Minsk and Tallinn have been living in the new realities for more than a quarter of a century. These realities created additional opportunities for enterprises, institutions and individuals. “At the same time, the years of independence did not leave us without the essentials which were accumulated by many generations of our compatriots,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed. “Just like before, Belarus is committed to the further all-round cooperation with Estonia, efficient use of the human potential and unique experience of many years of joint work. First of all, today we must cooperate for the sake of security in the region and confidence in the future for our children. Belarusians have always been and will be your good neighbors who are always prepared to work together to accomplish such an important goal.”
The Belarusian head of state wished Estonian people every success, peace and wellbeing.
