Lukashenko awards Vitebsk Oblast’s top agrarians

Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko presented awards to the best agrarians of Vitebsk Oblast during the regional harvest festival Dazhynki 2024 in Polotsk on 8 November, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “You are our leaders, skillful people, who are dedicated to their work and successfully compete with colleagues from other regions. There is no doubt that every individual accomplishment stems from huge daily work of an entire worker collective: executives, specialists, machine operators, harvester drivers, truck drivers, and other workers. We bow low to all of you, who worked the land to grow cereals all these years and this year! It is also a goal of my attending your oblast Dazhynki festival: I deemed it necessary to come here in order to bow low to you in recognition of your work, your kindness, your responsiveness, and your patriotism.”

“You are the foundation of our life and the foundation of our security. It is only thanks to you that we haven’t been dragged into some wars, confrontations, and conflicts today.

You are true patriots of your land, who have dedicated their lives to the noblest occupation: peasant’s work,” the president stressed.
