We express our grief at the tragic deaths in Pakistan of Norwegian Ambassador Leif Larsen, Philippine Ambassador Dominico D. Lucenario Jr., and the spouses of the Ambassadors of Malaysia and Indonesia, who lost their lives when the helicopter transporting them to a region in northern Pakistan crashed for what are still unknown reasons. Our sorrow is also great at the loss of the two Pakistani pilots, members of the helicopter crew.
We express our condolences to the victims’ loved ones and our undivided support for the peoples of the countries they represented and served until the final moment of their lives.
