On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Mali on 62 years of independence.
The United States will continue to partner with the people of Mali in their desire for democracy, security, development, and human rights. We support the Malian people in their quest for responsive governance and are committed to helping achieve that goal throughout the transition period as they go to the polls in March 2024.
At this event, we celebrate many years of partnership with the Malian people based on solidarity and mutual respect.
