On behalf of the United States of America, it is my pleasure to wish the people of Angola a heartfelt congratulations as you celebrate 49 years of independence on November 11.
The growth in the strategic partnership between Angola and the United States over the past few years has been exceptional. We expanded trade and investment, increased our security cooperation, built on our already strong collaborative efforts in healthcare, and strengthened our bilateral relationship.
As I said when I visited Luanda earlier this year, America’s future and Africa’s future are joined together. Our peoples are joined; our prosperity and success is linked. I send my best wishes to the Angolan people as you celebrate your independence today.
