Orthodox Church celebrates Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, on behalf of the Belarusian people and himself personally, congratulated the people of Lithuania on the State Restoration Day. This was reported to BELTA by the press service of the Belarusian leader. "For centuries, we have had friendly relations based on historical ties, common spiritual values, and mutual cultural enrichment. And today, despite existing difficulties and challenges, Belarusians have maintained sincere sympathies for Lithuanians," the congratulatory message reads. "I am convinced that in the current challenging international situation, neither short-sighted politicians nor their external advisors, whose recommendations regarding Belarus have never aligned with the true interests of the Lithuanian people, will be able to impose their view on our neighborhood on the residents of Lithuania," Alexander Lukashenko emphasized. The Head of State noted that Belarus is interested in the constructive development of bilateral relations on a healthy basis, relying on the principles of partnership and trust, friendliness, and respect. The President of Belarus wished all Lithuanians well-being and harmony.
