A. Lukashenko presents state awards to professionals on the eve of National Unity Day

15 сентября 2021

A new tradition in honor of a great holiday: for the first time state awards were presented in the Palace of Independence on the eve of the National Unity Day. 

The recipients of the awards are true professionals in their field: artists, scientists, teachers, financiers, agrarians and military officers. 

September 17, 1939 is an important milestone in the history of formation of the Belarusian nation. The reunification of the Eastern and Western Belarus was crucial for our country, which had already gone through the bloodiest war in its history, political and economic upheavals. And today we just have to preserve our Belarus for the future generations.

An important emphasis in the words of the President is on patriotism. All those in the hall should carry such an attitude to the Motherland not only through their lives, but also pass it on to others. And the culmination of the ceremony is recognition from the Head of State.

In addition to the solemn moment, an important personnel decision was made. Alexander Lukashenko has appointed Dmitry Baskov to the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly. The head of the state informed about his decision personally during the working meeting in the Palace of Independence.
