On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my congratulations to the people of North Macedonia as you celebrate the 34th anniversary of your independence and the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our two nations.
The United States values North Macedonia's steadfast partnership in advancing global security and stability. As a NATO Ally committed to defending peace and freedom, your pledge of increased defense spending at this summer's NATO summit underscores North Macedonia's dedication to our shared security goals. As we mark this milestone in our relationship, the United States remains committed to deepening our cooperation to strengthen collective security, combat transnational threats, and promote job-generating prosperity.
