MINSK, 8 January (BelTA) – Spirituality and morality represent the foundation of a strong and independent state. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during the ceremony held on 8 January to present the president’s prizes For Spiritual Revival, special prizes for art luminaries, and Belarusian Sports Olympus prizes for the year 2024, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “It is thanks to you, esteemed laureates, thanks to your service for high ideals that we successfully counteract the challenges that time brings before us. The time of chaos, wars, devaluation of true values. But the truth is simple: any human activity is built around spirituality and morality (as I often say, justice), which is a rejuvenating elixir for culture, around a reliable connection of generations and traditions. They are the foundation of the unity of the nation that knows its history, honors the legacy of the forefathers, and cares for the future. The foundation of what determines the nation’s character. Spirituality and morality represent the foundation of a strong and independent state.”
The head of state congratulated laureates of the prizes. “Thanks to people like you, who are patriots and creators, our kindred Belarus remains a small island of peace, tranquility, love for mankind, and mercy,” he stressed. “Despite anyone’s attempt to shake us today, nothing will come out of it! Nothing will work out! We will preserve our country. It already belongs to our children and grandchildren, this is why we should think about their future and we do that. We will do everything in the forthcoming five-year term to make our country forget the problem of preserving its statehood for good. Our country will always be an independent state despite any tendencies in the international arena.”
Once again the president wished Merry Christmas to all the Belarusians. He wished them joy, peace, kindness, prosperity and success amid their friends and families.
