On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Andorra as they celebrate their patron saint, Our Lady of Meritxell.
As a hallmark of our enduring partnership, our countries remain committed to working together on pressing global challenges. We are proud of our cyber collaboration, which strengthens our collective security in the digital age. We appreciate the creation of Andorra’s first-ever legal framework to apply sanctions against Russia and Belarus.
I also want to applaud Andorra’s historic achievement in electing its first representative to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, a testament to Andorra’s leadership in promoting equality. Likewise, Andorra’s dedication to achieving net-zero emissions underscores our shared commitment to climate action.
As we look to the future, the United States remains committed to our friendship and cooperation with Andorra, bound by shared values of democracy, human rights, and sustainability.
Wishing the people of Andorra a joyful national day and continued success in the year ahead.
