Excellency,
I have learnt with profound shock and sadness of the terrible tragedy that had befallen on Malaysian Airlines' flight MH17 in the eastern part of Ukraine last night. At this time of sorrow, I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Your Excellency and, through you, to the people of Malaysia as well as to the families of passengers and crew members who lost their lives in this tragic incident.
As a close friend and neighbour, Thailand stands by the Government and people of Malaysia. Our thoughts are with you and the families of the victims at this difficult time.
Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
