On behalf of the United States of America, I send my best wishes to the Maldivian people on their Independence Day on July 26.
The relationship between the United States and Maldives grows stronger with every passing day as we create a more just, prosperous, and secure region and world for our peoples.
This partnership is strengthened by a shared commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. The U.S.-Maldives relationship is an example of all that can be accomplished when two countries with common values work together.
