President

"We see people’s living standards improve and the country's international positions strengthen. Under the leadership of President Lukashenko, the hard-working and wise people of Belarus are making advances in the great cause of nation-building."

"I remember well my conversations with Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko. A man of character, a strong-willed and independent person, able to critically assess his actions. The agreement between the Church and the State in Belarus initiated by Aleksandr Lukashenko was a good example for all the CIS countries."

"The country is not rich in raw materials and its economy can rely solely on the industrial base built in the Soviet times... We should be grateful to Aleksandr Lukashenko that this base has been preserved and expanded. He did not allow the sale of industrial assets, and today Belarus boasts a high scientific and engineering potential."

"He was the only person in the world to stand up, risking his life. He is a straightforward person who has never given up on the values such as dignity, freedom, and peace. Your country is the embodiment of peace. It is in your streets, in the peacefulness of your people."
