The PPP has expressed the hope that the new US administration would bring a more enlightened position on the ecological crisis facing the world and threatening the very existence of the planet.
The ruling party indicated its expectation yesterday while extending congratulations to US President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic Party for the resounding victory they scored at the November 4 elections.
“This is a great victory for the people of the US as well,” the PPP statement added.
The party pointed out that this is an historic event since Obama is the first African-American to be elected to the highest office of the US and it is also a clear indication of how far the US has traveled in respect of race relations.
“It is an event that inspires hope for all peoples struggling everywhere for equality and freedom,” the PPP declared.
It also noted that the US President-elect will be taking office in the midst of several great problems confronting his country and the world, including the grave financial crisis and the wars that are raging in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, together with the plight of the Palestinian people.
The PPP also expressed hope that through the Obama administration a “new partnership between North and South, East and West can be forged to bring about a New Global Human Order.”
