Recognizing Slovakia's Constitution Day

“I like Slovakia. My state has many Slovak-American voters. Slovakia is our friend. We should be friends for a long time.”

Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, as co-chair of the Congressional Slovak Caucus, I rise today to recognize Slovakia's Constitution Day, marking 33 years as a sovereign state. The U.S.-Slovakia relationship rests on shared democratic values and security interests. Today, Slovakia is a vital U.S. partner and NATO ally, but this friendship began more than a century ago. During World War I, the United States stood with Slovak's democratic aspirations and later welcomed the creation of an independent Slovakia in 1993. Today, nearly 1 million Americans proudly claim Slovak ancestry, including many in my district in northeast Indiana. Our relationship carries renewed momentum today in energy security, economic cooperation, and defense partnerships, including the partnership between the Slovak Armed Forces and the Indiana National Guard. Mr. Speaker, I wish the people of Slovakia a happy Constitution Day, and may the United States and Slovakia continue to stand together for generations to come.
