Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko presented state awards and general’s shoulder straps to distinguished Belarusians at a solemn ceremony at the Palace of Independence on 7 March, the eve of International Women’s Day, BelTA has learned.
“It is difficult to think of an event that would be more consonant with the spirit and meaning for the Year of Peace and Creation than today’s ceremony,” the head of state said at the beginning of the event. “In line with a good tradition, in the first days of spring we celebrate the country’s most successful women and the bravest men,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
The president explained why mothers are are held in such a high esteem in Belarus. According to him, motherhood is the highest purpose and meaning of life, the affirmation of unshakable human values, the basis of everything on this earth. “After all, everything on our planet rests on unconditional maternal love, big women’s hearts, their inexhaustible energy,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
Aleksandr Lukashenko thanked all women, including all mothers of the country, for the huge role that they play in Belarus.
The president noted that today women, along with men, are making great strides in science and technology, manufacturing, food production and financial sector, construction, art, education and healthcare. They also successfully represent their Motherland at most prestigious forums and leading theatrical stages of the world, preserve and augment the cultural heritage of Belarus.
Addressing the officers, generals that were in attendance, the head of state emphasized that they are also the personification of the Year of Peace and Creation, because they reliably protect our sovereignty and independence, or, in other words, “our quiet and peaceful life”.
“In times like these, people begin to understand the true value of seemingly simple things - peace, order and calm,” the Belarusian leader stated.
According to the president, the awards and new epaulets that were presented in a solemn atmosphere, are recognition of significant services to the Fatherland, acknowledgement of exceptional professionalism and demonstration of great trust of the Belarusian people.
“I believe that you are also well aware that it is our duty to maintain peace on Belarusian soil whatever it costs! I believe in each of you, in our army, people in uniform and all those who wear them today,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
The head of state thanked everyone for dedication, professionalism, devotion to duty and patriotism, and sincerely congratulated everyone on receiving high awards and titles, and women on the upcoming holiday. “I wish everyone new professional and personal achievements, good health, happiness and well-being. Everything that we, men, do today we do for you and those children that you gave birth to. I hope you will give birth to more children, although the women in attendance have fully fulfilled their maternal duty.”

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
