On May 3, 1791, the Great Sejm adopted Europe's first modern Constitution, codifying democratic principles that have united and inspired both Poland and the United States for centuries.
In a statement on behalf of the United States government, Secretary of State Marco Rubio extended greetings to all Polish people, wishing them a joyous Constitution Day. The U.S.-Polish relationship is built on shared values such as freedom, prosperity, security, and democracy, which have become cornerstones of their bilateral partnership.
Today, Poland and the United States stand together as partners in building a safer and more prosperous future for their peoples. The country's commitment to NATO has strengthened their shared security, with thousands of American service members stationed in Poland. Trade relations between the two nations continue to flourish, and energy security cooperation remains a key area of collaboration.
As Secretary Rubio noted, their shared future has never looked brighter. He looks forward to another year of working together to uphold these values that have brought stability and growth to both countries.
The United States and Poland have a long history of friendship and cooperation, with bilateral relations and engagement continuing to be an essential aspect of their strategic partnership.
