MINSK, 2 July (BelTA) – Independence Day has become the symbol of a free and peaceful life, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at a function held on 2 July to mark the country’s national holiday, BelTA informs.

“We are celebrating Independence Day, the day that has become the symbol of our free and peaceful life.
