H.E. Mr. Shimon Peres, President of the State of Israel:

It was with deep thanks that I received your congratulations on the advent of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

I take this opportunity to reiterate that I am looking forward to exerting our best efforts to getting the Middle East peace process back to its right track in order to achieve security and stability for peoples of the region including that Israeli people.
