Swiss Confederation National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend heartfelt congratulations to the people of Switzerland as you celebrate your National Day today.

The United States and Switzerland share a profound commitment to advancing human rights, promoting democratic values, achieving global health goals, and ensuring peace and security worldwide. Our robust partnership is built on a foundation of mutual respect and cooperation in various domains, including trade and economic growth, technological and scientific innovation, cyber defense, and climate action. We commend Switzerland's role in international diplomacy, including your support for the people of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. We appreciate your contributions as our Protecting Power in Iran.

As we celebrate this important day together, I am confident that our partnership will continue to flourish, bringing prosperity and progress to both our nations and contributing to a safer, more interconnected world.

Best wishes on your National Day.
