Dear Mr. President,
It is with the utmost pride and humility that we of the Organisation
of Eastern Caribbean States add our voice to the many throughout the
world, in congratulating you on your inauguration to the high office
of President of the United States of America.
We, like so many others, stood in awe at the brilliant manner in
which your campaign was run. We, like so many others, are confident

tenure as President.
The countries of the Eastern Caribbean have shared a common history

same hopes and aspirations for our people.
The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States looks forward, in the
coming months and years, to strengthening the strong bonds of
friendship and cooperation between your country and ours. Once
again, Mr. President, we congratulate you on your wonderful and
