On behalf of the United States of America, I wish to congratulate the people of the Republic of Burundi as you celebrate 62 years of independence.
The United States remains committed to working with the Burundians to strengthen our bilateral relationship, foster economic growth and opportunity, improve food security, and promote positive health outcomes.
We look forward to working with Burundi to support the protection of and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and democratic institutions as the country approaches Parliamentary elections in 2025.
