Welcoming the religious figures, the head of state noted that he wanted this meeting to be held in an atmosphere of openness and trust.
“We are very lucky to have witnessed no disagreements or persecution on religious, ethnic or racial grounds in contemporary Belarus. Representatives of all religious denominations live here in an atmosphere of mutual respect, peace and harmony. Nowadays this is surprising for many, including so-called civilized countries. The values of Christianity, Islam, Judaism and other religions are aligned with the values of Belarusian society.
