The U.S. Consulate recently hosted their Independence Day Reception to “celebrate the the anniversary of the independence of the United States and the special U.S.-Bermuda relationship.”
A spokesperson said, “The U.S. Consulate hosted its annual Independence Day Reception on Friday, June 28th. U.S. Consul General Karen Grissette welcomed government representatives, international business leaders, partner organizations, sponsors, and special guests to the official residence to celebrate the the anniversary of the independence of the United States and the special U.S.-Bermuda relationship.
“Tonight, we celebrate the longstanding, special relationship between the United States and Bermuda. A partnership built on our common values; including freedom, equality, the rule of law, and democracy,” said the U.S. Consul General.
“It is also a celebration of our shared interests, accomplishments, and continued collaboration…as my U.S. Consulate team and I worked to advance and protect U.S. interests, we also strengthened ties with Bermuda’s international business sector, collaborated on security and law enforcement initiatives with our Bermuda and UK partners, and expanded higher education opportunities in the United States.
“Bermudians graciously welcomed my family to this island, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to forge an even closer partnership between the people of the United States and stakeholders across the island. We have accomplished so much in the past three years, but we certainly didn’t do it alone.
“I can truly say that serving as Bermuda’s American Consul General has been the highlight of my diplomatic career so far, expanding connections ad building a strong future for the United States and Bermuda.”
