NATO Secretary General Congratulates US President Obama On His Re-Election

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen congratulated late Tuesday President Barack Obama on his re-election, while at the same time stressing the bond between the U.S. and NATO.

“I extend my warm congratulations to President Obama on his re-election as President of the United States,” Rasmussen said, noting “The bond between Europe and North America, based upon the shared values on which our Alliance was founded over 60 years ago, remains as strong, and as important to the preservation of Euro-Atlantic peace and security as ever.”

According to Rasmussen, President Obama has demonstrated outstanding leadership in maintaining this vital bond.

Rasmussen said he is looking forward “to continuing our close cooperation to ensure NATO remains effective in a fast-changing world, against new threats, with new capabilities, and an ever stronger network of partners across the globe.”
