The leadership of the Vitebsk region congratulates the residents of the region on the Day of National Unity

We congratulate you on the National Unity Day!

The date of September 17 is a symbol of the historical formation of the Belarusian nation and the sincere desire of Belarusians to live as one family in their own home.

With a rich history and overcoming numerous difficulties, our people have preserved and worthily carried their unique culture and mentality through the centuries. This is the foundation that connects our past, present, and future.

National Unity Day is a tribute of gratitude from contemporaries to previous generations who defended the right to determine their own destiny. It instills pride in the country and gives an understanding that Belarusians are one people. This is the basis of the stability and well-being of the modern Belarusian state.

Please accept our wishes for a careful attitude towards historical memory, respect for the military and labor achievements of the generations of ancestors. May their selflessness be an example in strengthening Belarusian statehood!

Mutual understanding and harmony in your homes, spiritual warmth and comfort!

Sincerely,

A.M. SUBBOTIN, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee.
