President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono congratulated Barack Obama after the U.S. senator successfully won the presidential elections Wednesday.
In a statement delivered at the Presidential Palace, President Yudhoyono went on to congratulate the American public for the successful running of the elections, Antara news agency reported.
"At this opportunity, I would like to congratulate Senator Barack Obama for his success in being chosen to become the President of the United States in the coming term and I also congratulate the American public who have exercised their political rights by participating in the presidential elections," Yudhoyono said.
Yudhoyono added he was looking forward to enhancing bilateral relations in a just and constructive manner so as to deliver justice and prosperity for both parties under the Obama administration.
Yudhoyono said he was also hoping Obama's connection with the country -- Obama resided in Jakarta for part of his childhood -- would facilitate a new chapter in U.S.-Indonesia ties.
The congratulatory address was given right after Senator John McCain conceded the election.
Yudhoyono applauded the political maturity of the American public, whom he characterized as politically ethical.
