Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

July 1, 2024

On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate our friends and neighbors in Canada as you celebrate the 157th anniversary of Canadian confederation.

Our common commitment to democracy, people-to-people ties, and our shared history have built a partnership that is unequalled. We work together to strengthen security and build prosperity internationally, in the Western Hemisphere, and at home. We are committed to addressing global climate change and fostering the deep transformation and resiliency of our supply chains necessary to build a new North American clean energy economy. We are also committed to social and economic inclusion and development, and to cooperating internationally to advance those values that characterize both of our nations.

I am confident that in the year ahead, the strong and enduring neighborly bonds between our nations will grow ever stronger.

Je souhaite une joyeuse Fête du Canada à nos amies et voisines du Canada.

I wish our Canadian neighbors a happy Canada Day.
