U.S. Chargé d’affaires to Belarus Robert Riley on the anniversary of the adoption of Belarus’s Declaration on State Sovereignty

July 27 marks the 27th anniversary of the adoption of Belarus’s Declaration on State Sovereignty. The Declaration started the process that led to Belarus’s independence in 1991. As I have said many times, the U.S. strongly supports Belarus’ sovereignty and independence, and we congratulate all Belarusians on this very important date in the history of this beautiful country.
