Monaco's National Day

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

November 19, 2024

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the government and people of Monaco on the occasion of La Fête du Prince.

The United States and Monaco have enjoyed a strong and enduring partnership for 168 years. Our nations have worked together to uphold human rights, promote liberty, and address global challenges like climate change. I commend H.S.H. Prince Albert II's leadership in environmental conservation and sustainable development, which continues to inspire and drive international efforts.

As we celebrate this special day, I am confident our collaboration will grow even stronger - grounded in our shared values and commitment to democracy, fundamental human rights, and the rule of law - as we work together to create a better world for our citizens and future generations.

Warmest wishes to the people of Monaco for a joyous, peaceful, and prosperous year ahead.
