Dorin Recean, message of condolences for the victims of the earthquake in Japan: "Our thoughts are with your nation"

Prime Minister Dorin Recean sent a message of condolences to his Japanese counterpart, but also to the families who lost their relatives following the earthquake in Japan. The PM said that our country is with Japan in these difficult times.

"We are saddened by the news of the devastating earthquake that recently occurred in Japan. We send our deepest condolences to the families who lost their loved ones, and to all those who were directly affected by the consequences of the earthquake. The citizens of the Republic of Moldova are with the Japanese citizens in these difficult times. Our thoughts are with your nation, Prime Minister Kishida," Prime Minister Dorin Recean's message reads.

We remind that Japanese authorities announced on Tuesday that the death toll from the earthquakes that struck Japan on Monday had risen to at least 48, as rescue teams struggled to reach isolated areas on the country's west coast, where buildings were collapsed and roads became impassable, and thousands of homes were left without electricity.
