"Our relationship continues to flourish to the mutual benefit of our two nations and serves as a factor of stability at the regional and international levels. I have no doubt that our friendly and co-operative ties would deepen even further the years ahead," the President said in his message to President Gorge Bush on the US Independence Day falling on Tuesday.
