Excellency,

I was deeply saddened by the news of the loss of lives and injures as a result of a severe fire on a platform in Gunashli oil field in the Caspian Sea.

At this difficult time, on behalf of the people of the Republic of Moldova and on my own behalf, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of those who died, and hope that those injured will make the swiftest possible recovery.

Sincerely,

Nicolae Timofti

President of the Republic of Moldova
