On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Independent State of Samoa on the occasion of your 62nd anniversary of independence on June 1.
The United States cherishes the enduring partnership we share with Samoa, founded on our shared values and commitment to upholding fundamental freedoms. Our close relationship continues to strengthen, fostering prosperity and cooperation between our nations.
We remain committed to collaborating with Samoa in addressing the pressing challenges posed by the climate crisis, nurturing economic growth, and promoting the rule of law to ensure peace and stability both regionally and globally.
In the coming years, we hope to further deepen the friendship and partnership between our peoples. May this national celebration be filled with joy and unity for all the people of Samoa.
