Your Excellency,

It is a great shock to learn that the Balochistan Province of Pakistan was hit by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake causing heavy casualties and property losses. I feel deep grief along with brotherly Pakistani people. I would like to, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, and in my own name, express my deep condolences to the deceased and sincere solicitude to the bereaved families and the injured.

I believe that, under the leadership of Your Excellency and your esteemed Government, the Pakistani people are bound to stand united, overcome the difficulty, defeat the disaster and rebuild their homes. Chinese people will always stand with brotherly Pakistani people by sharing weal and woe all the time. Chinese government and people stand ready to provide all necessary help and assistance to Pakistani side.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
