Richard G. Olson, Jr.
The friendship between the United States and United Arab Emirates will be reciprocated, as indeed it has been for the last 37 years, initially under the guidance of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, and now under the wise leadership of President H.H Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the U.S Ambassador added.
"President Barack Hussian Obama has pledged to approach the Middle East with the open hand of friendship", remarked Olsen in a brief speech on Tuesday at the US Embassy's celebration of Presidents Day 2009 Presidents day is the celebration of the birth of our two most famous Presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, both of whose birthdays happen to have occurred in the month of February.
Present at the ceremony were former U.S Secretary of State Madelaine Alberight, H.H Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa, Sheikha Lubna Al-Qasimi, Minister of Foreign Trade and other senior officials.
The ceremony marks a particularly special occasion this year, according to Olsen "because we are commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln; the most famous son of the State of Illinois, just as we commemorate the arrival of the second son of Illinois to occupy the White House, Barack Hussein Obama.
