May 6, 2008

The message reads, in particular:

“It was with deep sorrow that I learned of the cyclone that hit the southern parts of your country, resulting in the loss of many lives and causing considerable material damage.

On behalf of all Russians I would like to express my sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims. I would also ask you to convey my words of support and wishes for a fast recovery to the victims.

Russia is ready to provide Myanmar with any assistance it requires in minimizing the consequences of this disaster.”
