Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was amongst the several world leaders President Barack Obama personally called to thank for their congratulatory messages and to express ‘his desire to continue close cooperation moving ahead’. Manmohan Singh and Obama had a telephonic conversation Thursday evening, said an official statement from Prime Minister's Office.
The PM congratulated Obama on his re-election and wished him success for his second term in office. He added that this had given an opportunity to the two countries to carry forward and build on the enormous successes that had been achieved in the bilateral partnership in the last few years. ‘PM also expressed his appreciation for the personal interest and commitment that President Obama had brought to the relationship and said that he looked forward to continuing their close cooperation to pursue their shared vision for the India-US strategic partnership,’ it said.
In his congratulatory message to Obama, Singh personally committed to a ‘rewarding’ association to build further on the global strategic partnership that the two nations have built over the last four years. The mandate to lead US for four more years gave him opportunity to continue to work at ‘an admittedly difficult juncture’ he said.
