Belarusian People’s Congress

Lukashenko: Belarus will hold out

MINSK, 11 February (BelTA) – Belarus will hold out no matter what, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he addressed the 6th Belarusian People's Congress in Minsk on 11 February, BelTA has learned.

“It is only us who truly care about Belarus’ interests. Only such a strong state as ours is capable of protecting and ensuring our interests. I have said ‘a strong state’, because we have always been a monolith, this is our strength. However, some still entertain the idea that someone from abroad will help us. Our state has held out despite political tensions, artificially generated by foreign powers,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

“We will hold out, trust me. We will hold out no matter what, it cannot be otherwise,” the Belarusian president stressed. “Thanks to the strong government, the country has suffered no interruptions in any area of life, from economic sectors and state services to aspects of everyday life. We have continued implementing social programs and fulfilling our obligations as usual,” he added.
