On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Niue as you commemorate the 51st anniversary of your self-governance.
The United States and Niue enjoy a growing partnership grounded in our shared commitment to a secure, prosperous, and resilient Pacific. Through our collaboration under the Partners in the Blue Pacific initiative and our engagement with regional institutions such as the Pacific Islands Forum, we are working together to strengthen maritime security, combat illegal fishing, and protect the ocean resources on which Pacific livelihoods depend. The United States looks forward to expanding our collaboration and advancing a thriving Pacific community.
I send my best wishes to all Niueans on this special occasion.
