On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my congratulations to the people of Saint Lucia on the 45th anniversary of your independence.
The United States enjoys a deep and long-lasting partnership with Saint Lucia. Together we work to combat the impact of climate change and improve energy and food security for Saint Lucia and the region through the U.S.-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC 2030). We are also helping to address the problems of crime and violence in the region through our joint activities under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative to provide a safer and more secure environment for our people and families.
The United States wishes you joyful and peaceful celebrations as you honor your independence day, and best wishes for a happy and prosperous year ahead.
