Greetings to OAO Gomeltransneft Druzhba

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko sent greetings to OAO Gomeltransneft Druzhba to congratulate the company on the 60th anniversary.

"The construction of the world's largest system of main pipelines passing through the territory of our republic and connecting the USSR with the socialist countries of Eastern Europe was a landmark event in 1964. Many oil transportation and storage technologies were then used for the first time in history," the message reads.

More than 4 billion tonnes of oil have been pumped through the system of Gomeltransneft Druzhba over six decades. Now the enterprise is an important link in the supply of raw materials to domestic refineries.

"It is gratifying that the company has been growing confidently: you upgrade kilometers of pipelines, build new stations, and expand the reservoir tank storage facilities," Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “The petrochemical complex successfully performs its tasks strengthening the industrial potential of Belarus thanks to your work, among other things. I am convinced that this will continue to be so in the future.”

The head of state wished the employees of the enterprise, their families and friends strong health, happiness, peace and prosperity.
