On behalf of the United States of America, I extend our congratulations to the people of Slovenia as you commemorate your 34th Statehood Day. The United States values Slovenia's continued contributions to global peace and regional stability. As a NATO Ally, your leadership in the Western Balkans and steadfast support for Euro-Atlantic cooperation reflects a shared understanding that security is preserved through strength, resolve, and unity.
As we deepen our diplomatic and economic ties, including our decades-long energy partnership, the United States remains committed to working with Slovenia and all nations who share our dedication to protecting borders and upholding national sovereignty. Our alliance is built upon the pursuit of peace through our combined strength. We wish the Slovenian people a joyous Statehood Day.
