President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the residents of the Vitebsk region on the 85th anniversary of the region's formation

Vitebsk region - the northernmost region of Belarus - has always been famous for its natural beauty, unique monuments, crafts and masters, as well as the valor and resilience of its residents during difficult times, as was the case during the Great Patriotic War, the Head of State noted.

"In Vitebsk region, they know the price of victory well, they know how to preserve the people's memory, traditions and loyalty to their native land," the congratulation reads. "Thanks to the tireless work of many generations, agriculture is developing, advanced technologies are being mastered, state-of-the-art enterprises are being built, production facilities are being modernized, and modern social infrastructure is being created. The grandiose art festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk", which strengthens friendship between peoples, gathers thousands of bright talents from all over our planet every year, is known far beyond the borders of Belarus."

Alexander Lukashenko wished the residents of the region good health, peace and prosperity.
