STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I congratulate the leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea for the final peace
agreement signed today in Algiers. My relief and happiness on this
occasion mirrors the sadness I felt when I witnessed two allies and friends
embroiled in a tragic conflict. I look forward to resuming our strong
cooperation with Ethiopia and Eritrea across the spectrum of bilateral
issues.
