The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, while congratulating Barack Obama on his re-election as the US president, hoped that their association will further strengthen bilateral ties.
In a message to Obama, the Prime Minister said, “I have personally valued our friendship and I look forward to continuing our rewarding association in order to build further on the enduring foundations of our shared values and the accomplishments of the past four years.”
The Prime Minister said that he had no doubt that there is much more the two leaders can do to further strengthen the India-US partnership and thereby advance peace and stability, expand mutual economic opportunities, harness the potential of science and technology, innovation and higher education and empower citizens to address global challenges.
“Over the last four years, consistent with our vision of a global strategic partnership between India and the United States, the ties between our two democracies have seen sustained growth. We have not only advanced cooperation across the full spectrum of our bilateral relationship, but also deepened our engagement in the pursuit of global peace, stability and prosperity,” he added.
“Your mandate gives you a historic opportunity to continue to work for the welfare of the American people as also for global peace and progress at an admittedly difficult juncture, not just for the US, but indeed for the world at large,” he wrote.
