Commentary from the Foreign Ministry's press service in connection with the statement of the US Embassy dated March 25, 2021:

In connection with the statement of the US Embassy on March 25, 2021, we express our sincere gratitude to the American side for finally showing its willingness to translate bilateral rhetoric into a constructive channel and for congratulating them on a significant date in the history of our country. We will only welcome the spread of this practice on public holidays.

We acknowledge our mistakes and take this opportunity to apologize for the lack of congratulations on the recent 160th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, whose flag is still dear to many Americans. At the same time, the BLM movement throughout the country has tens of millions of members.

Unfortunately, today American society is deeply divided, as J. Biden said: “I am fully focused on uniting America, uniting our people, uniting our nation ... The forces that separate us are very deep and strong ... Let's start over. Let's start listening to each other, perceiving each other, seeing each other "...

We also support the aspirations of the American people for a better future - this day and every day! Therefore, we believe that only genuine inclusive dialogue will help the American nation unite at this difficult moment in history. As a disinterested gesture of goodwill, Belarus, having experience as a platform for negotiations within the TCG ("Trilateral Contact Group for the Peaceful Settlement of the Situation in Eastern Ukraine"), is ready to offer its services in organizing such a process. We will provide any assistance we can, including with the involvement of our partners in integration structures.

Although more than two centuries have passed since independence, recent events in the United States show that the American struggle for freedom is still ongoing. Today, hundreds of thousands of Americans of all ages are publicly demanding the right to determine the fate of their country. Many pay a high price to try to make their voices heard, as the incumbent administration even had to use deadly weapons and shoot several people to stay in power and consolidate the election results.

We admire the courage and determination of American heroes, including J. Assange, E. Snowden and C. Manning, who sacrificed almost everything for the sake of true freedom and harmony in American society.

Belarus, together with the American people, is looking forward to the day when an ordinary American will be able to walk freely and unhindered near the Capitol.

We are grateful to the appointed US Ambassador to Belarus J. Fisher for his invaluable advice to the entire Belarusian people when and how to hold elections. Of course, our Belarusian primitive and meager thinking would never have allowed us to solve this issue ourselves. As a token of incredible gratitude, the Foreign Ministry is ready to out of turn accept Her Excellency's application for Belarusian citizenship in order to include her in the voter list and give her the opportunity to vote. The same can be done without citizenship on an electronic platform recognized by J. Fisher.

We cannot but respond to the helping hand extended by the American side in the conduct of the elections. Such achievements of the American electoral system as voting by mail and the electoral college, instead of a direct expression of will, can be claimed and studied by the Belarusian side.

Deeply imbued with the attention of the United States to the fate of Belarus, as a response step, we can make a disinterested contribution to the development of agriculture in Alaska and the effective development of its lands. In this regard, we are ready to consider the possibility of joint management of this territory.

The Belarusian construction organizations located in the region could be transferred to transfer experience and help residents of the southern states in overcoming the consequences of the natural disaster.

We sincerely wish the American people to be united, and without stumbling up the ladder of the American Dream.

We hope that the positive trend in our relations will continue and we will jointly come to the moment when we can happily meet the US Sixth Fleet at the maritime borders of Belarus!
