Greetings for San Marino’s September 3 celebrations have also arrived from the United States. American Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a message of congratulations to the people of San Marino, underscoring the historic significance of the Republic’s independence.
Rubio noted how San Marino has managed to preserve its sovereignty over the centuries, enduring eras in which European borders and balances of power changed profoundly. This continuity, according to the Secretary of State, stands as testimony to a strong commitment to freedom, independence and perseverance.
The message also touched on relations with Washington. The friendship between the United States and San Marino, Rubio pointed out, rests on mutual respect for sovereignty and on every nation’s right to choose its own path.
Finally, looking ahead to future relations, the United States expressed its intention to further strengthen cooperation with the Republic in the years to come.
