CONDOLENCES

In our deepest sorrow and respect, we wish to send our condolences to you and your people who were struck by the tragic earthquake and floodwaves last Sunday.

We want to let you know that you are in our minds and hearts, all the day, all the night, and that we will not stop our work on this matter until we have ensured that you are given the best help we can provide, under the circumstances, to relieve you of some of the worst suffering.

We have also been informed by our own citizens, tourists or residents in your country and present at the time of the incident, that your people have done incredible efforts to save lives and provide medical care, under unimaginable conditions. Be ensured that we are immensly grateful for your continous help and your kind welcome, in this time of total catastrophy, around the Indian Ocean.

In warmest sympathy,

Mr Oyvind Heitmann

Pride Minister
