Lukashenko bypasses Latvian leaders with direct appeal to its people

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has sent a message of goodwill to the people of Latvia. He expressed confidence that long-standing ties between the two countries would remain strong despite recent challenges. His remarks came as part of a broader effort to maintain friendly relations in the region.

Lukashenko chose to address the Latvian public directly rather than its leaders. This approach reflects his policy of not engaging with officials from countries he considers 'unfriendly.' Instead, he wished the people happiness, prosperity, and continued peace.

The two countries have shared decades of cooperation and mutual respect. Belarusians, according to Lukashenko, hold Latvians in high regard and always welcome visits from their neighbours. He also extended an invitation for Latvians to travel to Belarus, reinforcing the idea of open and warm relations.

Despite recent tensions in the region, Lukashenko remained optimistic. He stated that any difficulties in Belarusian-Latvian relations would be resolved over time. The Latvian people, for their part, have consistently sought to preserve their national identity while maintaining harmony with neighbouring countries.

Lukashenko’s message highlights the enduring bond between Belarus and Latvia. His direct appeal to the Latvian people underscores a desire for continued friendship and cooperation. The invitation to visit Belarus further signals an openness to strengthening ties in the future.
