Luxembourg National Day
Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State
On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Luxembourg on the anniversary of the Grand Duke’s official birthday.
The United States and Luxembourg are strong Allies with a long history of shared values. We are innovators and partners on some of the biggest challenges of our time – addressing the climate crisis, strengthening democratic institutions, ensuring economic prosperity for our peoples and ensuring a secure and peaceful future, among many other priorities. Together we stand shoulder to shoulder in supporting Ukraine against Russia’s aggression and in holding Putin accountable for his unjustified war. I look forward to Luxembourg’s participation in the NATO Summit this summer, as we work to strengthen NATO and defend our future.
Luxembourg is investing in space, collective defense, and cyber capabilities, investments which position you for a bright and prosperous future. The United States values Luxembourg’s friendship and I welcome our continued partnership to make the world a better place.
I join you in celebrating Luxembourg National Day and send my best wishes for the health and prosperity of all Luxembourgish people.
