STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT BUSH OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We've just had a really interesting visit. And we talked about the need to - for the world to see a modern Muslim country that is able to provide for its citizens, that understands that democracy is the wave of the future. And I appreciate your leadership, Mr. President.
We, obviously, talked about Iran. I assured the President of my desire to solve this problem diplomatically and peacefully. I appreciate so very much the government's contribution of support in troops to the new democracy in Iraq. I spent time describing to the President a meeting I had today via video conference with our Ambassador and General Casey -- very important for me to bring our ally up to date on the progress that's being made on the ground there.
I shared with him my hope that the national unity government will help achieve the objective we all want, which is peace and democracy.
And we, of course, talked about energy. And I appreciate the vision of the government and the vision of the President in helping this world achieve what we all want, which is energy security. Azerbaijan has got a very important role to play. And we discussed internal politics and we discussed politics of the neighborhood, as well, particularly relations with Armenia.
I appreciate very much the candid discussion. I thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, and thank you for our alliance. And welcome.
