The government and people of South Africa, in wishing him well, will fervently hope for greater world stability and peace under his leadership of the United States. We look forward to renewed support for, and interest in Africa and the developing world, reform of world institutions and an era of multilateralism marked by a concerted drive to deal decisively with the challenge of poverty and underdevelopment.
