The Hon. George W. Bush
President of the United States of America
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President,

Please accept my sincere congratulations upon your
inauguration as President of the United States of America. I
have no doubt that your second term of office will be one of
further success, progress and prosperity for the friendly
United States and its people.

I also look forward to further strengthening of the close and
historic links between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United
States during your Presidency, based on the existing ties of
friendship, cooperation and trust. I have no doubt that such
continued coordination and cooperation between Bahrain and
the United States will benefit both countries and their
friendly peoples, as well as serving the cause of regional
security and stability.

Finally, may I congratulate you once again, and assure you of
Bahrain's continued friendship and steadfast support for the
United States of America.

Salman Bin Hamad Al-Khalifa
Crown Prince and Commander-in-Chief
of the Bahrain Defence Force
