Ambassador's Condolence Message
|
Honorable Ms. Sujata Koirala
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs
Narayanhity Palace
Kathmandu
Dear Honorable Deputy Prime Minister,
I was profoundly grieved at the sad demise of your father, Honorable Girija Prasad Koirala, President of Nepali Congress and Former Prime Minister, on March 20, 2010.
Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala made a historic contribution to democracy in Nepal and took the leadership for the ongoing peace process. On this sad occasion, I offer my heartfelt prayers for the peaceful repose of Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala's departed soul.
At this time of national grieving, I believe there is still the need for all political parties and the people of Nepal to be united in accelerating the drafting of the constitution and to bring the ongoing peace process to its logical conclusion. This is, I believe, one way we can truly honor your late father's name.
On behalf of the Government of Japan and the Japanese people I wish to express my deepest sympathy and most sincere condolences to you and to all members of the bereaved family.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Honorable the assurance of my highest consideration.
Tatsuo Mizuno
Ambassador of Japan
