The newly appointed US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken sent a letter to Bosnia's Deputy Chair of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bisera Turkovic saying he is looking forward to cooperating with her, Turkovic's office said Friday.

“As Secretary of State, I look forward to working with you and the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to deepen our partnership and advance common interests. We are facing many crises around the world and I am convinced that together we can rise up to face these historic challenges. Now more than ever, our citizens depend on our leadership; we have the opportunity and the obligation to build a peaceful future rooted in freedom and prosperity for all,” said the letter from Secretary of State Blinken to Minister Turkovic.

This letter was sent after Minister Turkovic sent a message to the newly appointed US Secretary of State Blinken on January 27, 2021.
