The message reads, in part:

“While holding your high office, you have gained a reputation as a true patriot of your country. You persistently promote its interests on the international stage and are a wise politician capable of taking balanced and far-reaching decisions even in the most challenging situations.

Your contribution to developing friendly ties between Russia and Belarus, building and strengthening the Union State’s institutions, as well as promoting mutually beneficial integration processes within the Eurasian space cannot be underestimated.

I sincerely value our strong comradeship, which has stood the test of time. I am confident that through our joint efforts, we will continue to further expand the fruitful cooperation between Russia and Belarus.”

Vladimir Putin wished Alexander Lukashenko good health, wellbeing and success in performing his duties in the interests of the brotherly Belarusian nation.
