Antigua and Barbuda National Day

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

November 1, 2024

On behalf of the United States of America, I send my best wishes to Antigua and Barbuda as you celebrate 43 years of independence.

The United States and Antigua and Barbuda stand united in our dedication to security, economic growth, and adaptability in the Caribbean and the world. Our collective effort to combat climate challenges through the U.S.-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC 2030) is building the foundation for a resilient future. Through the U.S.-Caribbean Basin Security Initiative, we have made progress in confronting illicit trafficking and criminal networks.

I look forward to the continued collaboration between our two nations and wish all Antiguans and Barbudans a cheerful national day celebration.
