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," read an official statement. "Together we stand shoulder to shoulder in supporting Ukraine against Russia’s aggression and in holding Putin accountable for his unjustified war."

The statement also highlighted anticipation for Luxembourg’s participation in the NATO Summit this summer, as both nations work to strengthen NATO and defend their future.

"Luxembourg is investing in space, collective defense, and cyber capabilities, investments which position you for a bright and prosperous future," it continued. "The United States values Luxembourg’s friendship and I welcome our continued partnership to make the world a better place."

In conclusion, the message extended best wishes for health and prosperity to all Luxembourgish people as they celebrate their National Day.
