Dear fellow countrymen,

I extend to you my warm greetings on the Day of the State Coat of Arms and State Flag of the Republic of Belarus.

These symbols of statehood reflect the ever-lasting significance and meaning of Homeland, embody the continuity of the heroic past and labour achievements of the Belarusian people, their unity and cohesion, diligence and peaceful nature.

Respect for the main state symbols reflects the high civic feelings of patriotism, responsibility for the present and the future of one's country, pride for the heroism and courage of the people, paying honour to their sacred places and good traditions.

On this significant day, I wish you well, happiness and success for the sake of prosperity of Belarus.

Alexander Lukashenko
