On behalf of the United States government, I am sending my best wishes to the people of the Republic of Gabon, on the 62nd anniversary of your independence.
The United States congratulated Gabon on joining the Commonwealth of Nations. We applaud Gabon’s efforts to combat climate change through exemplary environmental protection and its ambitious carbon sequestration program. We are eager to continue our partnership with Gabon to improve maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea and promote peace, security, and human rights through the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations Human Rights Council.
We wish Gabon prosperity in the coming years and look forward to strengthening our partnership.
