Alexander Lukashenko congratulates Gennady Zyuganov on his birthday

Alexander Lukashenko has congratulated Gennady Zyuganov on his birthday.

"You have lived and worked in difficult times. In modern Russian history, you are known as a prominent statesman defending common, not personal, interests. For many years, you have consistently advocated for socially oriented policies, the preservation of historical memory, and the spiritual, cultural values and traditions of the Russian people," Lukashenko said.

Lukashenko noted he highly values Zyuganov's efforts in supporting Belarusian-Russian alliance building and his principled stance in strengthening fraternal ties between the two nations.

"I am confident that your great authority, natural talent, life wisdom, and inexhaustible energy will continue to serve the noble cause of Belarusian-Russian unity for a long time," the head of state said.

Lukashenko wished Zyuganov strong health, strength of spirit, happiness, and good fortune.
