Moscow,

Excellency,

I have learned with profound sadness over the natural disaster following the hurricane swept through Moscow in the evening of May 29, 2017 leaving numerous deaths and injuries of people.

On behalf of the Government and the people of the Lao PDR, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy and deep condolences to Your Excellency and through Your Excellency to the Government and people of the Russian Federation, especially to bereaved families of the victims affected by this natural disaster. I am confident that under that under Your Excellency’s leadership the situation will be recovered very soon.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Thongloun SISOULITH,
