Marco Rubio, Secretary of State
September 21, 2025
On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to the people of Malta as you celebrate your Independence Day.
The United States values our friendship with Malta, a trusted partner and a bridge between Europe, North Africa, and the broader Mediterranean. Our countries are bound by mutual commitment to strengthen regional security, expand economic and commercial ties, and deepen our people-to-people connections. We also value Malta's close mutually beneficial cooperation with U.S. law enforcement agencies to counter transnational criminal activities.
As Malta looks to the future, the United States remains committed to our partnership, and we convey our best wishes and congratulations on this important day.
