Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich,

Please accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of your birthday.

You employ your intrinsic qualities of a talented administrator and a true patriot of your Fatherland to serve Russia in the name of her prosperity and enhancement of the wellbeing of her citizens.

I hereby express my satisfaction with our meeting in the city of Sochi in August this year, which took place in an atmosphere of mutual trust and understanding, and confirm my readiness for a further dialogue with a view to deepening the strategic union-state relationship between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.

I wish you, distinguished Dmitry Anatolyevich, good health, happiness and wellbeing, successes in your challenging state work.

Yours sincerely,

Alexander Lukashenko
