Dear Secretary of State,
On behalf of the Commonwealth and myself, I write to offer my
warmest congratulations on your assumption of office as Secretary of
State in the United States Government.
Your appointment to this high office is a reflection of your
wide-ranging experience in policy making, especially in the arena of
international affairs, and your qualities of leadership. We are in
the throes of a world reshaping itself and the support of the United
States to enlightened collective approaches will be pivotal to
defining our shared future. I wish you all strength and success in
this historic challenge.
The United States and the 53 member states of the Commonwealth share
many values and objectives, and I look forward to working in
partnership with you and your team to advance them. I hope that I
will have the opportunity of calling on you when I next visit
Washington, to apprise you of our important work of mutual interest
and explore areas of potential partnership.
Please accept, Madam Secretary of State, my best wishes and the
assurances of my highest consideration.
With high regards,
/s/
