U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday congratulated Francois Hollande on his victory in the French presidential election, saying the United States would collaborate with France on an array of important global issues.
In a phone call made to President-elect Hollande after the results of the French election were announced on Sunday, Obama indicated that he looked forward to working closely with Hollande and his government on a range of shared economic and security challenges.
"President Obama noted that he will welcome President-elect Hollande to Camp David for the G8 Summit and to Chicago for the NATO Summit later this month, and proposed that they meet beforehand at the White House," the White House said in a statement.
Obama and Hollande each reaffirmed the important and enduring alliance between the people of the two countries, the statement added.
