Dear colleagues, dear friends! Dear veterans!
Every year our country solemnly celebrates the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.
This is both a holiday and a day of remembrance, when we once again reflect on such concepts as courage, bravery, valor and honor. At all times, these qualities have been used to describe strong people who were ready to stand up for what was dear to them – goodness and justice, their loved ones and their people, their homeland. The Belarusian land is rich in such people – it was, is and always will be so.
We are rightfully proud of the feats of the past that the Soviet people accomplished during the Great Patriotic War, and we wish the new generation of Belarusian defenders to always remember the life lessons that we have learned from our historical path.
I am convinced that the defender of the Fatherland is everyone who loves their people and the land on which they live, who protects peace and tranquility in our country in word and deed, whose life and work are subordinated to a single goal – the prosperity of their native Belarus!
The Year of Quality gives the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland a special meaning – the development of our inner core, quality indicators of activity comes to the fore. In this regard, I wish everyone to improve internally and qualitatively change the world around them! Good health and well-being to you and your loved ones! Happy holiday!
Respectfully,
Minister of Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection
of the Republic of Belarus
Andrei Pavlovich Khudyk
