To: His Excellency Joseph R. Biden Jr., President, The United States of America
Your Excellency,
I am pleased to send my heartfelt congratulations to you, your Government and the people of the United States of America on the occasion of the 248th anniversary of your Independence Day.
Over the years, our countries have enjoyed close cooperation built on common goals and long-standing friendship. As we mark the 40th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations this year, I look forward to continuing our work towards establishing a Strategic Partnership, for the mutual benefit of our people.
I also deeply value our regional and international cooperation, particularly through the ASEAN-U.S. Dialogue Relations and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. These collaborations underscore our shared commitment to fostering a peaceful and prosperous region.
With my best wishes to you, your family and to the American people for a very happy Fourth of July celebration.
