Spain National Day – United States Department of State

On behalf of the United States of America, I send my warmest congratulations to the people of Spain as you celebrate your National Day: The Fiesta Nacional de España.

Spain and the United States share a deep and enduring friendship rooted in our shared values of democracy, human rights, and the protection of global security. We work closely to address the challenges of our time including support for human rights in Venezuela and Nicaragua and promoting the defense of the stable and open international system.

The United States is especially grateful for Spain’s leadership on the world stage, whether as a key member of NATO or the European Union, where it has consistently demonstrated a commitment to international cooperation, peace, and progress. Spain’s steadfast support for Ukraine exemplifies its dedication to the principles of the United Nations Charter, and the global leadership it brings continues to be vital in our joint efforts.

Our close economic, cultural, and educational ties are flourishing, and our people-to-people connections have never been stronger. On this joyous occasion, the United States celebrates with you.  Best wishes for a joyous Fiesta Nacional de España!
