Mr. President,

First of all, let me extend to you my sincere congratulations on your brilliant victory in the presidential election which took place on 9 October 2013.

The results of this election are particularly important because the level of people's participation in them was very high.

Thus, due to the political stability you have created you can continue to modernize your beautiful country. At the same time, you will be able to continue the democratic reform within your country's membership in the Council of Europe.

Mr. President, please accept the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.

Sincerely,

Jean Marie Bockel
Senator, member of the French Senate delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and former minister
