Belarus ready to defend national interests by all means

         Before the entire world Belarus openly demonstrates the readiness and the ability to defend its national interests by all means. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement at the ceremony held to honor graduates of higher military education institutions and high-ranking officers.
       The head of state underlined that in modern complicated conditions Belarus protects its sovereignty by relying on its own forces and on cooperation in the Union State of Belarus and Russia, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and cooperation with friendly nations. “We openly demonstrate the readiness and the ability to defend our national interests by all means before the entire world. To do that, we have created a modern army, which is able to adequately respond to external and internal threats to the national security and able to reliably protect the peaceful work of the Belarusian nation,” said the President.
      In his words, the personnel of the Belarusian army and other power-wielding agencies boast high morale and enjoy respect of the Belarusian people while the national military school allows training military specialists for the sake of national defense.
