Dear Premier Wen
I am deeply saddened to learn about the tragic loss of lives and the destruction caused by the landslide in Zhouqu County in Gansu Province. On behalf of the Government of Singapore and all Singaporeans, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the government and people of China on this calamity, especially those who have lost loved ones.
Under the able leadership of you and your colleagues, I am sure that rescue and relief efforts will be swift and the people of Gansu will overcome this tragedy. Singapore stands ready to respond if there is any way we can assist. I wish those injured a speedy recovery and hope that the affected region will return to normalcy before long.
Yours sincerely
Lee Hsien Loong
His Excellency Wen Jiabao
