In his message of greeting, the President emphasised that Russians and Belarusians have been building the Union State for more than twenty years, and the results of these joint efforts are becoming more tangible.

The Russian President specifically pointed out the smooth coordination of the two states’ foreign and defence policies, their dynamically developing links in trade and the economy, science and technology, humanitarian and inter-regional matters.

Vladimir Putin also noted the importance of the experience that Russia and the Republic of Belarus have accumulated in building a union that helps to promote integration on a larger scale across the Eurasian community.

The President also expressed confidence in the fact that Russia and Belarus will act together to ensure the further strengthening of the Russian-Belarusian alliance as well as mutually beneficial cooperation in all spheres for the benefit of the two brotherly peoples.
