On behalf of the United States of America, I offer my warmest congratulations to the Republic of Moldova as you celebrate your 33rd Independence Day.
During my visit to Moldova in May, I was deeply impressed by your steadfast commitment to democracy, economic development, energy security, human rights, and justice sector reforms. The United States stands with the people of Moldova in your efforts to protect your sovereignty and territorial integrity and to resist foreign influence from actors seeking to interfere with Moldova's elections and path towards European integration. We are grateful for Moldova's unwavering support to Ukraine and generosity in hosting Ukrainian refugees. We remain committed to partnering with Moldova in its pursuit of a future that is more democratic, prosperous, and secure.
I extend my best wishes to the Moldovan people as they celebrate this joyous day.
