On behalf of the American people, I warmly congratulate Latvia on the 106th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Republic of Latvia.
For over a century, our countries have shared an enduring friendship. The United States has always stood firm in its commitment to Latvia’s sovereignty. This year, we celebrated both the 20th anniversary of Latvia’s accession to NATO and the 75th anniversary of the NATO Alliance—clear indicators of the strength and durability of our commitment. Latvia’s leadership in supporting Ukraine and its investments in defense demonstrate its role as a model NATO Ally, enhancing not only its own security but the collective strength of the Alliance.
Latvia’s unwavering dedication to our shared values, the safeguarding of democratic institutions, and a world free, open, and at peace are crucial to ensuring security and stability.
The United States deeply values our lasting partnership with Latvia. Together, we enhance the security and prosperity of our nations and uphold democracy and human rights. I greatly appreciate our friendship and wish you a joyful anniversary.
