The United States is committed to help Bangladesh build a peaceful,
secure, prosperous, healthy and democratic nation.
US Ambassador to Dhaka Dan Mozena said this in a message on the occasion of the American Independence Day on the fourth of July. “We hope that Bangladeshis here and around the world will mark this July 4 as a time to celebrate our friendship, our shared ideals and our abiding commitment to democracy,” he said.
“Today, on our Independence Day, we think of all nations that have struggled for freedom and have undertaken to build democracy. Bangladesh, like America, is working hard to build and strengthen its democratic institutions,” he added.
The US envoy said, “Since 1776, Americans have worked to create a more perfect union. Our democracy is a work in progress.”
“Through civil war, the civil rights movement, and continuing up to the present day, the people of the United States endeavor to see our ideals manifested. On Independence Day, we reflect on the challenges of freedom, the ongoing work of democracy and how we can better become one, out of many,” he said.
“This Fourth of July marks the 237th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America,” Mozena said adding: “On this day throughout the United States, you will find men, women and children of all generations, races, creeds, beliefs and cultures celebrating our independence as a free nation.”
“The beautiful traditions of picnics, parades and fireworks celebrate the deeply held and cherished beliefs that reflect the motto on the seal of the United States: “E pluribus unum” or “Out of many, one.”
