FREDERICTON (GNB) – The following statement was issued today by Premier Blaine Higgs:

On behalf of the Government of New Brunswick, I would like to congratulate President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris on their official swearing-in ceremony held today during the American presidential inauguration.

Our province, and our country as a whole, has always shared a special relationship with the United States. We eagerly anticipate exploring new opportunities to further build upon this relationship.

In the months ahead, we will continue to collaborate closely with the United States as we recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We welcome America’s new administration and look forward to working with them as trade partners, friends and neighbours.
