On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate His Majesty King Letsie III and the Basotho people as you marked 59 years of independence on October 4. This important day serves as a reminder of our strong bilateral relationship. The Kingdom of Lesotho's rich natural resources, combined with the resilience and skills of its people, hold the promise of a prosperous future. We look forward to deepening our commercial partnerships as we continue our close cooperation on health and security.
