Your Excellency,

It gives me great pleasure to extend, on behalf of the people
of Bhutan and on my own behalf, our warmest feliciations on
Your Excellency's victory in the presidential elections.
Your re-election as President of the world's greatest
democracy and most powerful country is a clear reflection of
the trust and confidence that the people of the United States
of America have in your leadership and ability to meet the
many challenges facing your great nation and the world today.
It is also a testimony of the support the American people
have for the policies of your administration both at home and
abroad.

I am confident that under Your Excellency's able leadership,
the United States of America will continue to enjoy greater
peace and prosperity in the years ahead. I wish Your
Excellency every success in all your endeavours to promote
peace, security and prosperity for your great nation and the
world.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest
consideration.

Jigme Singye Wangchuck
