Excellency,

On behalf of the Moldovan scientific
community and me personally, I would
like to congratulate you for the results
of recent elections held in the United
States, closely followed by the whole
world. The triumph of democratic values
proved once again that the U.S. is a
valuable player in the global arena and
a reliable partner in the race towards
sustainable development worldwide. We
are pleased to acknowledge that an
important aspect of Barack Obama's
priorities is the further development of
science, technology and innovation,
focusing on synergy in science and
education. In this context, I would
like to reiterate the importance of our
scientific relations and hope that the
coming years will bring more
opportunities for collaboration within
joint initiatives and projects.

Aspiring to a further fruitful
collaboration, please accept the
assurance of our highest consideration.

Sincerely,

Gheorghe Duca
