On behalf of President Obama
and the people of the United States, I congratulate the
people of Antigua and Barbuda on their celebration of 28

nations are bound together by strong economic, cultural, and
historic ties, and we share an enduring commitment to
democracy and human rights. We are working together as
partners to ensure a brighter future for all our people and
the entire Caribbean region. I wish you a joyous
Independence Day and reaffirm our strong friendship.
