At this time of national mourning, please be assured that our thoughts are with you. I wish you continued strength and wisdom in bringing to justice those who are responsible for this tragedy.
This incident will serve to give even greater impetus to the efforts of the international community to combat terrorism and terrorists' acts by those who would attempt to hold the democratic process to ransom.
Please accept Excellency, the assurances of my highest considerations”.
