February 23, Minsk /Corr. BELTA/. The reality is that it is Belarus today that is demonstrating to the whole world how to defend sovereignty, stability, and security, but it is necessary to be constantly vigilant and keep your powder dry. This was stated by Head of State Alexander Lukashenko, speaking on February 23 at a reception for the leadership of the Armed Forces and law enforcement agencies on the occasion of the Day of the Fatherland Defenders and the Armed Forces of Belarus, according to a BELTA correspondent. In the President's opinion, in the current conditions, high responsibility of the heads of security agencies, of every officer for ensuring conditions for the creative work of the Belarusian people is especially necessary. The Head of State noted: "We have very complex and responsible tasks ahead of us. Including the implementation of the new National Security Concept, further modernization of the Armed Forces, maintaining their high combat readiness and morale. For this, you have not only the necessary resources, but most importantly - exemplary support from the state and the people, the awareness of each citizen of their involvement in defending the Fatherland, responsibility for maintaining peace and stability in our common Belarusian home." According to Alexander Lukashenko, today a person in uniform, whether a soldier or an employee of other security agencies, serves as a model of courage, honesty, and integrity. That is why the difficult, but noble and necessary profession of defending the Motherland enjoys constant respect in society. -0-
