VITEBSK, Belarus, July 11 (Xinhua) — The 34th International Arts Festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" opened in Belarus on Thursday. Representatives from more than 40 countries are participating in the grand event this year.
The opening of the festival traditionally took place in the Vitebsk Summer Amphitheater. The ceremony was attended by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. In his speech, he noted that the "Slavianski Bazaar" is a whole world of bright emotions and unforgettable impressions.
"Here, every time, we meet with famous artists and true masters of the arts. Here, year after year, new stars are born. In a variety of genres: from music and dance to theater productions and art projects. In a variety of styles: from folk art and classics to avant-garde trends in contemporary art," the Belarusian leader noted.
He also added that in the age of global changes, all countries and peoples need to preserve their identity, culture and traditions. “This is the essence of creation, the path to a fair, safe future for all of us. I am saying this here because talented performers from different countries meet under the arches of the Summer Amphitheater every year. And every year there is an atmosphere of friendship and respect. This is the essence of our entire policy. Without xenophobia, without any prejudices,” A. Lukashenko emphasized.
