On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my sincere congratulations to the people of San Marino on your National Day and the Feast of St. Marinus.
San Marino, the world's oldest republic, stands as a testament to the enduring values of freedom, independence, and resilience. The story of St. Marinus, who fled religious persecution and founded your republic, continues to inspire all who cherish liberty and self-determination.
The United States and San Marino share a long-standing friendship grounded in mutual respect and a commitment to sovereignty. As you mark this special occasion, know that the United States values our partnership and looks forward to deepening our ties.
We wish the people of San Marino peace, prosperity, and continued success in the years to come.
