I look forward to our collaborative efforts further enhancing bilateral relations in a constructive direction, fostering stability and predictability rooted in mutual respect and consideration for each other’s national interests shaped by history, geography, and realities on the ground.

I take this opportunity to wish the American people to follow the path of peace and prosperity, as they continue to uphold the enduring principles enshrined in the U.S. Declaration of Independence ensuring every individual’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Respectfully yours,
