Dear friends,

Please accept my greetings on the 55th anniversary of the first broadcast of Belarusian television.

More than half a century ago citizens of this republic were given a unique opportunity to watch TV reports about the most important developments in the country and the world.

Today the Belarusian State TV and Radio Company continues its active dialogue with citizens on a wide range of topics. Your popular programmes are in demand not only in Belarus but also beyond its borders.

I am convinced that the national TV and radio company will continue occupying the leading positions in the Belarusian information field, raising the level of attractiveness of its programmes, presenting new interesting projects.

I wish you talent and professional excellence, inspiration and enthusiasm, good health and wellbeing.

Alexander Lukashenko
