THE PRESIDENT: It's been my honor, Mr. Prime Minister, to be with you. You're one of the outstanding leaders in a very important part of the world. I want to thank you for strategizing our discussions. We talked about a lot of things. The main thing we talked about is how we can work together to keep the peace. And I want to thank you for your time. In the region of South East Asia, Malaysia plays an important part in progress. I like to alude Malaysia as a moderate Muslim nation which has progressed far and well.
PRIME MINISTER BADAWI: Thank you, Mr. President. You shared me with me Americans nation's and your views on many issues, is very, very, impressive, and I am certainly most likely to see that you are very concerned for peace and U.N. peacekeeping in the Middle East.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you again to disucss such issues. I would like to thankyou for your warm invitation when I visited Malaysia in June of 2005. Thankyou for that. We last met in person in Busan last November, and I think we had sucessful discussions on the sidelines of APEC. I lookforward to seeing you at APEC this November again.
Thankyou Mr. Prime Minsiter.
