MINSK, 28 June (BelTA) – The basis of everything is creation, not destruction, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the award ceremony for graduates and the staff of higher education institutions held on 28 June, in the run-up to Independence Day and the 80th anniversary of the country's liberation from the Nazi invaders, BelTA has learned.
The head of state admitted that he is nervous whenever he meets with young people. “I always think about your attitude to our policies. There are different opinions, different perceptions, but my dream is that you assess and perceive what is happening now in the right way,” the Belarusian leader noted.
“Indeed, the basis of life is not destruction, but creation. And creation implies tapping into the experience and achievements of humankind,” the president emphasized. “Today we have talked a lot about Belarus and many things that we have done. Yet, our achievements pale in comparison with what has been done before us,” Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked.
“Yet, had we not stood on the shoulders of giants, as great people said, had we not built on what had been created before us, we would not have had this meeting today,” noted Aleksandr Lukashenko.
“Therefore, appreciate what was done before you. Make the most of it. Use it to improve not only your personal life, but also to build a better future for the country as a whole. Although the destiny of the state is the destiny of each of you personally,” president concluded.
