OBAMA CONGRATULATES YUDHOYONO THROUGH PRESS STATEMENT
Jakarta, July 15 (ANTARA) - United States President Barack Obama has congratulated Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on his recent election victory through a White House press statement.
Presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal said here on Wednesday there had yet to be a direct communication over the telephone between President Obama and President Yudhoyono.
"President Obama congratulated Yudhoyono through a special press statement which was released by the White House but so far there has been no direct congratulation from the US president to Yudhoyono through a telephone conversation," Patti Djalal said.
But Patti Djalal said he was certain Obama would directly congratulate Yudhoyono on his winning last Wednesday's presidential election in Indonesia, aside from the press statement because a White House official had contacted Indonesia for that purpose.
"We are still waiting for direct congratulation by phone from President Barack Obama," Patti Djalal said.
The presidential spokesman said President Obama's congratulations through the White House press statement was a new style felicitation which even indicated the US great attention to Indonesia.
"Obama's congratulation through the press statement is much better than the direct one by phone because it shows how great the US attention is to Indonesia," Patti Djalal said.
According to Patti Djalal, Obama said in the White House press statement that Yudhoyono's victory in Wednesday's presidential election had a good impression in the democratic festivity in Indonesian on July 8, 2009.
Besides personally congratulating Yudhoyono on his election victory, the US president also expressed his expectation that with Yudhoyono's next government, cooperation relations between Indonesia and the United States would even be strengthened.
Obama also commended the democratic dynamics in Indonesia which was marked with the high participation of the voters, civilian and government organizations in the election process.
Patti Djalal said Obama was of the opinion that Indonesia had played a great role in promoting democracy, civilian power, and peace in Asia.***
