The message reads, in part:
“Please, accept my deep condolences in connection with the tragic consequences of the terrorist attack near the town of Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of peaceful people, citizens of various countries. This brutal crime cannot be justified. We trust that its organisers and perpetrators will receive the punishment they deserve.
I would like to reiterate our readiness to further step up interaction with our Indian partners in the fight against all forms and manifestations of terrorism.
Please, convey my words of sincere sympathy and support to the victims’ families and friends and wishes for a speedy recovery to all those injured.”
