On behalf of the United States, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Guinea-Bissau as they mark their 53rd National Day.
The United States values its growing economic partnership with Guinea-Bissau, particularly in the energy sector, and is committed to deepening cooperation to expand trade and investment opportunities that benefit both the American and Bissau-Guinean peoples.
As Guinea-Bissau celebrates this important occasion, I wish the nation every success and look forward to strengthening our relationship in the years ahead.
