U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio Extends Independence Day Greetings to Belarus
On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Belarus as you celebrate your Independence Day.
As Americans prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of our own independence on July 4th, Belarusians observe July 3rd as a defining moment of liberation: the freeing of Minsk from Nazi occupation in 1944.
On this occasion, I extend my sincere wishes to the people of Belarus for a peaceful and prosperous future.
