President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated President of Singapore Halimah Yacob and the people of that country on their national holiday. This was reported to BELTA by the press service of the Belarusian leader.

"Over the years of sovereignty, your country has become a major financial centre in Southeast Asia, a regional leader in areas such as the electronics industry, informatisation, and pharmaceuticals," the congratulatory message reads.

The Head of State expressed confidence that the intensification of dialogue between Minsk and Singapore, including on issues of trade and economic, investment and humanitarian cooperation, and the expansion of the treaty and legal framework, fully corresponds to common interests.

"I believe that Singapore's attention to our regional integration project – the Eurasian Economic Union – will serve as an incentive for seeking new mutually beneficial areas of cooperation," the Belarusian leader noted.

Alexander Lukashenko wished Halimah Yacob good health and the realisation of her plans, and the people of Singapore – happiness and prosperity.
