Lukashenko congratulated the people of Austria on their national day. "This day is of great importance to all citizens of Austria, it is a symbol of freedom, unity, devotion to the principles of peace and historical responsibility. The head of state noted that Austria has traditionally served as a platform for international dialogue and achieving mutual understanding. "In the modern world, where the contradictions between countries are becoming more and more complex, and the world order as we know it is constantly and rapidly changing, a balanced position of neutrality takes on a certain value. Belarus represents the renewal of constructive cooperation between Minsk and Vienna, which we have been building together for decades. On this basis, we are ready to create new opportunities for fruitful interaction." Alexander Lukashenko wished the people of Austria to remain faithful to their wise historical choice and to contribute to the establishment of harmony and stability in Europe.
