Dear Mr. Svinarov:

Thank you for your congratulations on my election as
President of the United States. Your thoughtful message is
much appreciated. We face a range of challenges that I
believe we can best confront together. But we also have
tremendous opportunities that, if addressed effectively, can
advance our alliance's goals. As we begin to work together,
I am mindful of the fundamental importance of our
relationship.

I am confident that we can work together in a spirit of peace
and friendship to build a more secure world during the next
four years. I look forward to working with you in that
effort and in promoting good relations between our countries.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
