Croatia’s Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman has highlighted the importance of the Croatian community in the United States, describing it as a valuable bridge that connects the two countries.
During a visit to New York ahead of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Grlić Radman met with members of Croatian clubs including the Kardinal Stepinac Cultural Club, the “Hrvatska Zemlja” club in New Jersey, and associations of Bosnian Croats and Istrians in New York.
“Their dedication to preserving language, faith, and culture shows that distance does not weaken belonging, but instead strengthens it,” Grlić Radman stated in a post on X.
The minister thanked the diaspora for their commitment to maintaining Croatian identity and for promoting the country’s name far beyond its borders.
