According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the ministry shared the congratulatory message on its official "X" (formerly Twitter) account.
"We sincerely congratulate the Republic of South Sudan on its Independence Day and wish the country lasting peace, stability, and prosperity," the statement read.
