On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of Andorra as you celebrate your national holiday, Our Lady of Meritxell Day, on September 8. Andorra has a long history and a rich culture, and it is an outstanding example of modern economic success and full employment on the European continent. The United States greatly values Andorra’s friendship, and we look forward to our continued partnership in the future. I wish all Andorrans a happy holiday celebration and great success in the coming year.
