“You have given promise and meaning to President Mbeki’s idea of an African Renaissance. More than that you have earned the admiration and co-operation of the United States.
The United States not only supports what is best and most promising about this continent, we are just as committed to helping you overcome what is worst and most destructive.”
— Strobe Talbott, Deputy US Secretary of State
“(O)ur belief in the possibility of success in addressing these challenges has been strengthened by the fact that there is a very close working relationship between our countries as well as between our peoples.
Our economic links have also been growing and I hope that our interaction with different sections of the American society will further enhance and consolidate these mutually important ties.”
— Thabo Mbeki, South African President
