Prime Minister Janez Janša attended the ceremony marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States as a guest of honor. He emphasized the strong friendship and cooperation between Slovenia and the U.S., highlighting the significance of July 4th as a turning point in European history, including for the Slovenian nation.

Nova veleposlanica ZDA v Sloveniji Asel K.

Oglaševanje

Veleposlanica Asel K. Roberts je v nagovoru na slavnostnem sprejemu v ljubljanskih Križankah povedala, da se veseli "sodelovanja pri krepitvi tesnega in trajnega partnerstva med našima državama".

"Ko sodelujemo, pa naj gre za obrambo, regionalno stabilnost ali varno in zanesljivo civilno jedrsko energijo, lahko najbolje zagotovimo, da bodo državljani obeh držav varnejši, močnejši in uspešnejši. Veseli nas, da lahko pri teh prednostnih nalogah tesno sodelujemo z novo slovensko vlado," je dodala.

Pred 250. obletnico podpisa Deklaracije o neodvisnosti ZDA, ki jo bodo obeležili 4. julija, je poudarila pomen spomina na ustanovne ideale ZDA in dejala, da je "ameriška diplomacija zaščitila naše nacionalne interese ter oblikovala globalni mir, varnost in blaginjo".

Slovenijo je označila za pomembno prijateljico in zaveznico, premierja Janšo pa za "resničnega prijatelja ZDA".

"ZDA kot prispodoba svobodnega sveta"

Premier Janez Janša je kot častni gost nagovoril zbrane in velik del govora posvetil obdobju osamosvajanja Slovenije ob koncu 80. in v začetku 90. let prejšnjega stoletja. "Sanjali smo o svobodi in svobodnem svetu in takrat smo si Ameriko, Združene države Amerike predstavljali kot idealistično prispodobo tega svobodnega sveta," je dejal.

Dodal je, da 4. julij "ni le rojstni dan ZDA, temveč dan, ki je tudi stoletja kasneje posledično močno zaznamoval tudi novejšo zgodovino Slovencev, pa tudi mnogih drugih evropskih narodov".

Posvaril je, da smo "v času geopolitične nevihte", za preživetje pa so po njegovih besedah ključne "vrednote svobodne demokratične družbe".

"Svoboda ni le politična, ampak je tudi etična kategorija, zato beseda svoboda v razumevanju ustanovnih očetov Združenih držav ni razumljena zgolj kot osvoboditev od zunanjih omejitev, temveč tudi kot odgovornost posameznika do sebe, do skupnosti in do države," je še dejal premier.

Ob visokem jubileju in rojstnem dnevu ZDA je izrekel čestitko ameriškemu ljudstvu, predsedniku Donaldu Trumpu in "deželi svobodnih in domovini pogumnih".

Sprejema v Križankah so se udeležili številni visoki gostje, politiki, diplomati, podjetniki in predstavniki civilne družbe. Med prisotnimi so bili tudi zunanji minister Tone Kajze r, minister za infrastrukturo Jernej Vrtovec in minister za gospodarstvo Anže Logar .
