Dear Mr. President,
Shocked to learn of the serious attacks against certain areas in New York City
and Washington D.C. on September 11, which caused horrendous casualty, I wish
to express, on behalf of the Chinese Government and people, our deepest sympathy
and solicitude to you and, through you, to the Government and people of the
United States. I wish also to extend our condolences to the families of the
victims. The Chinese Government has consistently condemned and rejected all
forms of terrorist violence.
Sincerely,
Jiang Zemin
President of the Peoples Republic of China
