Alexander Lukashenka congratulated the people of Poland on their national holiday — Independence Day, his press service reports.

"Amid today's significant challenges in Europe, relations between Belarus and Poland, unfortunately, have become much more complicated, which has become a test of strength for us," the congratulatory message states. "I am convinced that it is impossible to overcome these circumstances through an exchange of bans and sanctions, fences, and walls. We have different positions on a number of problems — that has been and will be the case. The question is whether we can approach this situation with understanding and a focus on dialogue, without confrontation and accusations."
Belarus is ready for such a mutual approach and strives for it, he noted.
In such greetings, Lukashenka does not address the leaders of countries hostile to official Minsk, but rather congratulates the peoples.
And this time he wrote the following: "Only by restoring genuine respect and trust can any difficulties be overcome, can we return to the constructive development of communication, and revive successful cooperation for our common good and the future of our descendants."
