Lukashenko met with activists of Belarusian Women's Union
The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has held a meeting with the activists of the Belarusian Women's Union today, BelTA reports
The event gathered more than half a thousand representatives of the association from all regions of the country.
"I am ready for an open, honest conversation, and this is not just a statement. You know our system of government: everything agreed upon in the country is definitely implemented. Therefore, our meeting today may be decisive on some issues," the President stressed.
Aleksandr Lukashenko admitted that the first minutes of the meeting had confused him, “Of course, I understand that women treat me well, because I am your most ardent supporter and a man – though far from being ideal – who is extremely devoted to women. I am confident that our nature has created nothing more perfect than a lady. This is my firm belief."
As noted by the Head of State, Belarus has been maintaining a good tradition for many years: ‘the strongest, bravest, most beautiful and reliable, our beloved’ women are congratulated in the first days of spring.
"The holiday of March 8th has become truly national for us. It is not just an opportunity to congratulate and thank women for their understanding, dedication, kindness, and sensitivity: it is another reason to think about their role in society, to answer questions on whether everything has been done by us to make our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters happy, and what else needs to be done to make our Belarus more beautiful and be able to match the beauty of our ladies,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “There is one more thesis: no women around the globe are more beautiful than Belarusian ladies. This is my strong belief."
The Head of State said that he had accepted the invitation of the Belarusian Women's Union to talk about these important topics on the eve of March 8th. "It is you – who are present here now, as well as 170 thousand other members of the association – who feel especially keenly responsible for the fate of your country, who are worried about its future. This is undeniable, and you are in the first place in this regard. Only you are in the lead of this patriotic movement. It is you who love your country and Homeland like no other, and this fact has relevant grounds. Our future – and the future of any country – rests on the youth and children. That is why you want our life to be quiet, peaceful, and our country to prosper. The future of the state is the future of our children, therefore a feminine view on the development of society is very important," the President stressed.
