Belarus’ security, defense and law enforcement agencies need competent officers who are loyal to the country and its people, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a ceremony to honor graduates of military schools and high-ranking officers, BelTA has learned.
First of all, the head of state congratulated the military on their graduation: “You have completed your studies at a difficult time. Our defense system really needs officers who know their job and, most importantly, who are loyal to the country and our state.”
“The world is changing. So are armies and methods of warfare. Armed forces are getting new high-tech weapons. Intelligence is in demand like never before, which in turn requires not only officers, but also soldiers and sergeants to be extremely knowledgeable. And this trend will only gain momentum.
Only you can pass this knowledge on to your subordinates. We have always understood this and made the appropriate conclusions. Therefore, we will continue supporting people in uniform, upgrading the Armed Forces – the main guarantor of sovereignty and independence of Belarus. – BelTA
