Aleksandr Lukashenko went on saying: “But your presence adds a very special meaning to the everyday political life and solemn events. You are a symbol of the future, the future of our native Belarus. Just yesterday you defended your theses and passed a serious state exam. The confident look in your eyes suggests that you are ready to rise up to all kinds of professional challenges. Behind you are many days of hard work, sleepless nights, and anxiety of your family and friends.”
“You have a difficult, but interesting life ahead. It is difficult because things are changing so fast. Therefore, when meeting with young people, I always say: do everything in time. Get an education in time, expand your knowledge, start families, give birth to children. This is the key to success for any person,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
