The President who turned 65 said at an interactive forum with the presidential press corps at the Castle that he does not regard his birthday as special, due to that the he does not usually celebrate his birthdays with fanfare.
He said birthdays are supposed to be days for assessing ones achievements and failures and try to make amends.
