His Excellency Mohammad Ashraf Ghani
President
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
[Your Excellency,]
I was shocked by the vicious bomb attack in Kabul on 31 May 2017, which took many innocent lives and left hundreds of ordinary Afghan citizens and foreigners injured.
Singapore condemns this terrible act, coming so soon after the start of the holy month of Ramadan. I am confident that the Afghan people will not waver in the face of this tragedy.
On behalf of the people of Singapore, I offer my deepest sympathies to the victims and bereaved families of this attack. We wish those injured a speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Afghanistan during this time of sorrow.
[Yours sincerely,]
TONY TAN KENG YAM
