I wholeheartedly congratulate citizens of Russia and Belarus on the Day of Unity of Peoples!

For more than two decades, the Russian-Belarusian Union State has been guaranteeing the protection of the rights and interests of our citizens. Thanks to active cooperation, it was possible to ensure the development of intercultural dialogue and create a solid foundation for further integration.

Within the framework of bilateral cooperation, high results have been achieved in various fields of activity within the framework of interests of both states, and great work has been done to solve important economic and social problems. I am sure that the atmosphere of trust, mutual respect and partnership accompanying the Union State activity will allow us to continue successfully moving along the path of unification of the two friendly nations.

I wish all citizens of our Union State health, prosperity, peace and mutual understanding!
