Mr. Barack Obama

Mr. President, 
 
I have the honour to extend to you my sincere appreciation for the 
warm reception accorded to me and my delegation during my recent 
visit to your country. 
 
I also wish to acknowledge the fruitful exchange of views in various 
matters that concern our two countries.  I have no doubt that you 
share my commitment to rebuilding relations between our two 
countries. 
 
Mr. President, I deeply appreciate your expressions of support to 
the process of deepening the democratic system, strengthening our 
political system and economic reforms that my country has embarked 
on.  I can assure you that we in the Inclusive Government are 
determined to succeed in charting a new, prosperous and stable

able to meet during our stay in your great Country. 
 
I am looking forward to regular high-level visits between our two
