Happy National Unity Day!

The date was not chosen by chance: this day became an act of historical justice for the Belarusian people, divided against their will in 1921 under the terms of the Riga Peace Treaty. The unity restored in 1939 allowed Belarus to withstand the years of the Great Patriotic War, to take an honorable place in the international community, to become one of the co-founders of the UN.

Today the Belarusian people are united in choosing a strategic course for the development of a strong, sovereign and prosperous country. The establishment of the Day of National Unity on September 17 emphasizes the continuity of generations, the inviolability and self-sufficiency of the Belarusian nation and statehood.

A large number of socio-political and patriotic events are planned in the republic for the Day of National Unity, as well as in the field of culture, museum activities and media.
