TO HIS EXCELLENCY
MR. S.F. ALEINIK,
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
REPUBLIC OF BELARUS
Minsk
Dear Mr. Sergei Fedorovich,
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of our common holiday – the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus.
No barbaric terrorist attacks can frighten and break the spirit of Russians and Belarusians, who have to mourn on the same day the victims of Nazi henchmen not only at Khatyn, but also at Krasnogorsk. On the contrary, common hard trials unite us even more, strengthen our determination to put an end to the evil exuded by the hateful ideologies of neo-Nazism and religious extremism.
I am confident that together we will be able to cope with the most serious threats and challenges posed to us by the “collective West” and its Ukrainian puppets, to ensure the security and prosperity of all Russians and Belarusians. I count on the continuation of traditionally close coordination between our foreign policy agencies on the world stage in accordance with the Program of Concerted Actions for 2024-2026. We are determined to provide close diplomatic support for multifaceted bilateral cooperation and intensive integration processes within the framework of the Union State, EAEU, CSTO and CIS.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you good health, happiness, prosperity and further success in your professional activities.
With respect,
S. LAVROV
Moscow, April 2, 2024
