“We are celebrating Constitution Day that has become a truly national document. The Basic Law, adopted 30 years ago and improved in referendums by the will of the majority of Belarusians, largely determines the course of our history,” the Head of State said in his congratulatory message.

As noted by the President, key institutions of state power have been created, and citizens’ rights and freedoms guaranteed thanks to the Constitution. “The voice of the people – that supports the continuity of the best traditions of the past era – has become the key to preserving peace and harmony in society. The unprecedented trust of the citizens of Belarus in the political system has made it possible to build a stable and independent state. Meanwhile, the fundamental values enshrined in the Basic Law – such as social justice, the traditional family, and historical truth – are the right guidelines for us, and they help overcome modern challenges and look confidently into the future,” he said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko added that the Belarusian People's Congress is symbolically beginning its work this year – for the first time in constitutional status. Acting in a new role, this supreme representative body of the people's power will become another powerful pillar of Belarusian statehood.

“I am sure that the observance of constitutional norms and principles, the responsibility of every Belarusian for the fate of the Fatherland will continue to contribute to the dynamic development of our state. Happy holidays! Happy Constitution Day!” the Head of State addressed Belarusians, wishing them good health, happiness, prosperity and new successes for the benefit of their native Belarus.
