Mr. `Ali Nasir Muhammad, President of South Yemen,

I received your Excellency's telegraph on the heartrending tragedy of the recent earthquake in Kerman. I appreciate your sympathy for this catastrophic disaster. I beseech God to grant high status to the martyrs and patience to their families. May God's peace be upon you.
