Belarus President sends greetings to participants of 8th Belarusian International Media Forum

    Greetings to the participants of the 8th Belarusian International Media Forum “Partnership for Future: Historical and Cultural Heritage as a Factor of Unity”

    Dear friends,

    I send my best greetings to the guests and participants of the 8th Belarusian International Media Forum “Partnership for Future: Historical and Cultural Heritage as a Factor of Unity”.

    Traditions of every nation are unique. They reflect its spirit and world view. Therefore, the countries will come to mutual understanding if they learn to respect uniqueness of culture of each and every nation, historical experience and national character. And the journalists’ community plays a crucial role here. The voice of reporters advocating historical truth, the development of our common cultural and spiritual roots is one of the factors needed to promote peace, harmony and wellbeing of the brotherly nations.

    Belarus cherishes the historical memory and is eager to preserve and enrich the historical and cultural heritage which is a priceless gift for future generations. The country has already done a lot for it. You can see the results of these efforts with your own eyes.

    This year’s forum will focus on many issues, for example, on interstate humanitarian cooperation, moral values, firmness of the foundations of historical unity of our peoples. Surely, the results of your work will make a big contribution to the development of relations between our countries.

    I wish you success, effective work and good mood in these May days.

    Aleksandr Lukashenko
