Secretarul de stat american John Kerry a transmis in numele presedintelui Obama si al poporului american un mesaj de felicitare "tuturor romanilor cu ocazia celebrarii zilei nationale pe data de 1 decembrie".
"In urma cu 96 de ani, poporul roman a creat o democratie care a garantat egalitate pentru toate nationalitatile si religiile si a protejat libertatea presei, de asocieiere si a cuvantului.
Aducem un omagiu acelor lideri vizionari si ii felicitam pe toti cei care azi continua sa apare aceste drepturi fundamentale si sa consolideze democratia, statul de drept si diversitatea nationala in Romania.
Statele Unite sunt recunoscatoare Romaniei pentru puternicul parteneriat strategic pe probleme ce privesc provocarile de securitate regionale si globale. In calitate de aliati NATO, militarii nostri lupta cot la cot in Afganistan. Efectueaza exercitii milare comune. Si colaboreaza in bazele militare din tara voastra, cum sunt cele de la Deveselu sau Mihail Kogalniceanu.
In timp ce voi sarbatoriti impreuna cu familia si prietenii, eu privesc spre viitor sa consolidam parteneriatul nostru strategic pentru multi ani de acum incolo."

Romania's National Day
Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
November 28, 2014
On behalf of President Obama and the American people, I congratulate all Romanians as you celebrate your Unification Day on December 1.
Ninety-six years ago, the people of Romania created a democracy that guaranteed equality for all nationalities and religions and protected the freedoms of press, association, and speech. We pay tribute to those visionary leaders and applaud all those who continue to defend those fundamental rights and strengthen your democracy, rule of law, and national diversity.
The United States is grateful for Romania’s strong partnership on regional and global security challenges. As NATO allies, our soldiers serve side-by-side in Afghanistan. They carry out joint military training exercises. And they collaborate at military bases in your country like Deveselu and Mihail Kogalniceanu.
As you celebrate with family and friends, I look forward to building on our strategic partnership for many years to come.
