Lukashenko congratulated people of Canada on Independence Day

On behalf of all Belarusians and himself, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko has congratulated the people of Canada on Independence Day, the Belarusian leader’s press service reports

“In 1867, the three provinces became a confederation, which received the status of an independent state of Canada under a common flag, with which Belarus has a long history of relations. Even the geographical distance between Minsk and Ottawa did not prevent us from finding common interests, creating families, developing trade and providing mutual support in difficult life situations. Joint projects in industry, science, education and sports, including ice hockey, which is greatly enjoyed in our countries, enabled us to better understand each other,” the congratulatory message reads.

Aleksandr Lukashenko expressed his conviction that the invaluable wealth of contacts accumulated over decades between Belarusian and Canadian families, ordinary people, scientists and businesses will help overcome temporary difficulties and restore a full-fledged interstate dialogue.

The President of Belarus wished all Canadians a peaceful sky and confidence in the future”
