BelTA reports with reference to the press service of the Belarusian leader.

“Over the centuries, our countries have repeatedly been arenas of struggle of other states, places of clash of “centers of power” and even civilizations. And each time both peoples had to fight hard and persistently for freedom and independence,” reads the congratulatory message. - In these trials both Spaniards and Belarusians have shown the best traits, such as national dignity, patriotism, aspiration for a peaceful and stable way of life, steadfastness and courage in defending their religion, culture and traditions,” the message of greetings reads.

The head of state expressed confidence that despite the modern transformation of the world order, the citizens of Belarus and Spain will remain adherents of an independent and autonomous way of development, bearers of traditional values, among which the most important are peace, family and creative labor for the benefit of the Fatherland.

“On this festive day, on behalf of all Belarusians, I cordially wish the people of Spain unity, harmony and prosperity, assure them of our unfailingly friendly attitude and invite them to Belarus,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
