The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, on behalf of the Belarusian people and himself, congratulated King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and the people of the Kingdom on the National Day – as reported by the Belarusian leader’s press service

“Your friendly country can rightfully be proud of the successes achieved over the years of its existence in socio-economic development and ensuring the well-being of citizens,” the Head of State noted in his congratulations to the King of Saudi Arabia. “Today the Kingdom enjoys well-deserved prestige on the world stage, playing a significant role in resolving the most pressing issues on the international agenda. “I’m confident that intensifying the dialogue between Minsk and Riyadh, including on issues of trade-economic, investment and humanitarian co-operation, fully meets the common interests of our countries.”
