Oslo, Norway- US president Barack Obama today received Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. In the Nobel Prize ceremony Obama gave a short speech on different issues.

In his speech, Obama said that criticism of his Nobel prize as premature will be dismissed if he achieves desired goals such as nuclear-free world and combating climate change threat. He also added that, he does not consider himself in the same league as Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa.

He cited the reason behind sending 33,000 additional troop in Afghanistan. By the end of next year the number will be closer to 100,000.

The speech is being written primarily by President Obama, officials said, with considerable help from Favreau and National Security Council staffer Ben Rhodes, and will be approximately 25 minutes long.
