His Excellency Mr. Michael Richard Pompeo,

Secretary of State of the United States of America

Washington, D.C

Excellency,

          I have learned with profound sadness about considerable loss of lives and tremendous destruction of properties caused by the Florence hurricane, which has passed through Your country.

          On behalf of the Government and People of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy and deep condolences to Your Excellency and through You to the Government and American people, particularly to the families of the victims.

I earnestly hope that under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the aftermath of the tragic disaster would be overcome and livelihoods of the affected people be brought back on track as swiftly as possible.

                                                                   With highest consideration,

                                                                            

                                                                      Saleumxay Kommasith

                                                                   Minister of Foreign Affairs
