This resolution congratulates North Macedonia on the 34th anniversary of its independence and celebrates 30 years of diplomatic relations between North Macedonia and the United States. The measure recognizes North Macedonia as a key U.S. ally and NATO member that has supported Ukraine against Russian aggression and maintained strong democratic institutions since gaining independence in 1991. The resolution particularly highlights North Macedonia's 2020 NATO membership, its partnership with Vermont through the National Guard State Partnership Program, and its commitment to European Union integration. This is a symbolic resolution that does not involve any funding or create new programs, but rather formally acknowledges the strong bilateral relationship and shared values between the two countries.
