MOSCOW, 23 September (BelTA) - Over the 25 years the Union State has become a model of integration for the entire Eurasian space, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk said at the commemorative concert Every Third at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow on 23 September, BelTA has learned.
"The Great Victory demonstrated to the entire world our unity, an unyielding spirit, and a readiness to fight to the end for truth and justice. In difficult years, these qualities helped us to endure. Belarus and Russia have carried their brotherhood and friendship into the 21st century. Today our peoples are looking confidently towards a future in which this historical unity continues,” Alexey Overchuk noted.
Today, this unity is manifested in concrete actions and achievements, he added. "As Aleksandr Lukashenko said: we are creating a unique entity in the form of the Union State, which has no historical precedent. We are treading an untrodden path, and it is not easy,” the deputy prime minister said. “Over the 25 years of the Union State's existence, we have built an association that has become a model of integration for the entire Eurasia. “Today we can say with confidence that our joint development truly encompasses all spheres of life. We are working tirelessly to ensure that every resident of Russia and Belarus feels at home across the entire territory of our Union.”
