Message of Condolence from the Prime Minister of Pakistan to the President of Afghanistan on the Terrorist Attack in Kabul on 19 April 2016

Excellency,

I would like to convey our immense grief over the heinous terrorist attack in Kabul today that led to the loss of precious lives and has left scores injured.

On behalf of the people and the Government of Pakistan and my own behalf, I strongly condemn this brutal act and offer my heartfelt condolences to Your Excellency and the bereaved families. Our prayers and sympathies are with the families who have lost their loved ones and we wish for early recovery of the injured.

Such incidents continue to remind us that the scourge of terrorism remains a major threat to peace and stability of our countries, societies and the region. It serves as a tool for perpetuation of senseless violence in our societies inflicting immense pain and suffering to the people. Eliminating this menace requires firm resolve as well as coordinated approach on our part.

I would like to reiterate Pakistan’s unequivocal condemnation of terrorism in all forms and manifestations.

With profound regards

(Muhammad Nawaz Sharif)
