«The history of relations between our countries is rich with examples of constructive cooperation. Over the decades, Belarusians and Czechs have successfully advanced people-to-people ties and realized economic, humanitarian, and cultural initiatives,» the message reads.

The head of state noted that amid today’s challenging geopolitical climate, the emphasis must be placed on what brings people together rather than drives them apart. He called for a pragmatic dialogue based on mutual respect instead of letting unresolved issues pile up.

«I am confident that finding common ground will enable Minsk and Prague to resume a constructive partnership for the benefit of both nations. Belarus stands ready to make every necessary effort to this end,» Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.

The Belarusian leader wished the people of Czechia happiness, prosperity, and peaceful skies.
