Dear women,

Please accept my hearty congratulations on Mother’s Day.

On this day our hearts are filled with the feeling of immense gratitude to our dearest people on Earth, our mothers. Your unconditional love and devotion envelope a person from the moment of their birth, serve as reliable support in difficult situations, give self-confidence, help achieve success and victories.

Today we have a good reason to express to you the words of sincere admiration and gratitude for your remarkable ability to combine professional activities with your main calling, which is to be hearth keepers, the keepers of traditional moral values and principles, to give birth to and raise your sons and daughters. To apologise to you for not being attentive enough to you sometimes.

Dear mothers, the state values highly your tireless, everyday work. Protection of motherhood and childhood, comprehensive support of young and large families are critical areas of the social policy in our country.

May your children grow intelligent, strong and talented, live up to their parents’ expectations, give you their love and care.

I wish for your strong health, consent, wellbeing and prosperity at home, happiness and love.

Alexander Lukashenko
