The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed in a statement “its deepest greetings to the brave and dignified people of the Republic of Argentina,” on what it called a sacred date.

“We pay tribute to the men and women who, with courage and patriotic conscience, confronted colonialism and paved the way for the freedom of the continent,” it stated.

In this regard, it extolled figures such as Manuel Belgrano, Juana Azurduy, Martin Miguel de Guemes, and Jose de San Martin, who embody a feat that transcended national borders and became inscribed in the heart of Our America as a symbol of the struggle for justice, sovereignty, and the dignity of its peoples.

He emphasized that today, more than ever, “this memory must encourage the Argentinean people to continue fighting for their full and authentic independence, free from all forms of external domination and the surrender of their resources and rights.”

The text affirmed that the spirit of Tucuman lives on in every Argentine man and woman who dreams of a sovereign, just, and united homeland.

From the land of Bolivar, “we reiterate our respect, admiration, and solidarity with the Argentine people, convinced that the cause of independence, yesterday and today, is also the cause of Latin American dignity,” he concluded.
