Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that the past 30 years have shown that the employees of the President's Security Service are more than just professionals. “The service should be able to provide personnel for any sector, not just the military. You continue to serve the country and the people even after being transferred into the reserve. You work in various organizations. You have proven yourself well in responsible government roles, including high-ranking positions. This will remain so,” the Belarusian leader said.
“And in general, I believe there is no job that our employee, former or active, could not handle. True, they say that there are no former employees. As a president and as a human being I truly appreciate your work. I have no doubt that you will continue to be worthy of the high title of an employee of the President's Security Service and that Belarus will always be under your reliable protection. Time has chosen us for a reason,” the head of state said.
The president thanked all veterans and active employees for their service and presented state awards to the most distinguished employees. Aleksandr Lukashenko wished them good health and new professional successes, and their families - happiness, inexhaustible strength and patience, because many victories are forged in the rear, the head of state remarked.
