The message reads, in part:
“The murder of people during a religious ceremony is yet another evidence of the barbaric and inhumane nature of terrorism.
I would like to reaffirm Russia’s readiness to further strengthen cooperation with our Pakistani partners in the field of counterterrorism.”
The President of Russia asked to convey the words of heartfelt sympathy and support to the victims’ families and friends and wishes for a speedy recovery to all the injured.
