It is noted that the decree was signed "with the aim of consolidating the Belarusian people, strengthening the ideas of peace and creative work in society as the main conditions for the development of the Belarusian state."

"The key directions of the next year will be the improvement of the system of military-patriotic education of the population, the promotion of peaceful initiatives of citizens and society, the promotion of inter-religious dialogue that ensures peace and harmony in Belarusian society, the demonstration of the advantages of the Belarusian economic model in conditions of global turbulence, the positioning of creative work as the main condition of the Belarusian state," said Lukashenka's decree.
