U.S. Commends Electoral Observers and Expresses Eagerness to Collaborate with New Leadership
In a diplomatic gesture, the United States has extended its congratulations to President-elect Nayib Bukele on his electoral triumph in El Salvador. The announcement comes as the Central American nation prepares for a new era under Bukele’s leadership.
The United States, in a statement issued today, commended the work of electoral observers whose tireless efforts ensured a transparent and fair electoral process. This acknowledgment underscores the importance of upholding democratic principles and maintaining public trust in the electoral system.
Expressing anticipation for future collaboration, the United States looks forward to working closely with President-elect Bukele and Vice President-elect Felix Ulloa following their upcoming inauguration in June. The strong relationship between the United States and El Salvador, built over 160 years, is highlighted as pivotal to addressing shared challenges and advancing mutual interests.
With events in El Salvador directly impacting U.S. interests at home and abroad, the United States emphasizes the significance of working together to overcome obstacles in the hemisphere and globally. Central to this effort is the commitment to prioritize good governance, inclusive economic prosperity, fair trial guarantees, and human rights in El Salvador under the Root Causes Strategy.
As both nations look towards the future, cooperation and collaboration are seen as essential in unlocking the full potential of the partnership and addressing the underlying issues driving migration and instability in the region.
The congratulatory message from the United States signals a desire for a productive and mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries under the new leadership in El Salvador.
