Dear Mr. President:
As I prepare to leave office, I want not only to say good-bye
but also to thank you for helping to make possible cooperation
for peace and progress between our two countries during my
years as President. I know that the spirit of friendship and
mutual respect on which this cooperation has been based will
continue and that both our peoples will be the better for it.
As the enclosed photographs of our recent lunar flight suggest,
this shrinking globe is rapidly becoming a single neighborhood.
Even the most distant nations now live closer to each other
than villages in a single nation did only a few centuries ago.
Countries are learning that they must work together for com-
mon ends if any are to survive and prosper in the new world
of interdependence which science and technology are helping
to create.
We have made some progress to this end in recent years.
New forms of international cooporation are evident in many
areas. I believe that this progress will continue, and that
one day an international community will come into being
which is as solidly grounded in common interest and common
institutions as national communities are today.
I know that both our countries will play a part in this great
venture. Despite my retirement from the Presidency, my
interest in Uganda's role and my friendship for Its people
will remain strong and undiminished, as will my dedication
to the goals which both our countries share.
Sincerely,
His Excellency
Apollo Milton Obote
President of the Republic of Uganda
