Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

August 30, 2026

On behalf of the United States of America, I send my warmest congratulations to the people of Malaysia on the 69th anniversary of Malaysia's independence.

For nearly seven decades, the United States and Malaysia have shared a deep and enduring partnership, rooted in strong economic ties, interpersonal bonds, and a shared commitment to freedom of navigation in a free and open Indo-Pacific. As one of Malaysia's top investors and a valued trading partner, the United States looks forward to deepening this relationship in the years ahead.

On this special occasion, I wish all the people of Malaysia continued peace and prosperity.
