US election results: Ministry of External Affairs congratulates Barack Obama; Pranab Mukherjee & Manmohan Singh to send messages
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Wednesday congratulated US President Barack Obama on his re-election. "The Government and people of India send their congratulations to President Obama on his winning a second mandate from the people of the USA who have expressed their will in the great tradition of democracy in their country," the MEA said in a press release.
The release stated that President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will send separate messages of congratulations to US President Obama upon his re-election.
"India and the US have developed extensive bilateral cooperation and partnership based on shared values based on belief in democracy, the rule of law and pluralism. We look forward to continuing to deepen and widen the engagement between India and the US in the years ahead," the release added.
US President Barack Obama rolled to re-election and a second term in the White House on Tuesday with a victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney as the Democrat overcame deep doubts about his handling of the US economy.
Obama, America's first black president, won by convincing voters to stick with him as he tries to reignite strong economic growth and recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. An uneven recovery has been showing some signs of strength but the country's 7.9 per cent jobless rate remains stubbornly high.
Obama's victory in the hotly contested swing state of Ohio - as projected by TV networks - was a major step in the fight for the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the White House and ended Romney's hopes of pulling off a string of swing-state upsets.
