Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm wishes to the people of Slovakia as you celebrate your Constitution Day.

This year, we honor more than three decades of Slovak independence and enduring U.S.-Slovak friendship. From Slovakia's investment in next-generation F-16s, to Slovakia's robust State Partnership with Indiana, and Slovakia's pledge to meet NATO's five percent defense spending goal, we celebrate a defense relationship that strengthens NATO, enhances Slovakia's self-defense, and contributes to a Europe that is stronger, more united, and better prepared to safeguard peace and freedom.

We are equally proud of our cooperation to secure our countries' sovereign borders, as well as our expanding economic partnership – including civil-nuclear cooperation and deepening trade and energy ties – which creates lasting opportunities for growth on both sides of the Atlantic.

Congratulations to the people of Slovakia on this important day. We look forward to continued cooperation that advances our shared goals of prosperity, security, and collective defense.
