The message reads, in part:
“Thirty years ago today, the Treaty on the Establishment of the Community of Russia and Belarus was signed, marking the beginning of the integration process between our two nations. Over this period, mutually beneficial ties have expanded significantly, with their positive impact clearly reflected in people’s daily lives. Today, Russians and Belarusians enjoy equal rights in healthcare, education, social security, and pensions, and can freely choose where to live and work – from Brest to Vladivostok.
Close coordination has been established in foreign policy, defence, and security, which is especially important in the current complex international environment. The two countries are also jointly implementing comprehensive measures to strengthen their financial, economic, scientific, and technological sovereignty.
The Union State has, without exaggeration, become a key driver of integration processes across Eurasia, serving as a model for cooperation within multilateral organisations such as the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
I am confident that, building on the achievements to date, we will continue our consistent joint efforts to further expand allied relations and deepen comprehensive cooperation between Russia and Belarus, for the benefit of our fraternal peoples.”
