Message of President Prodi to Ahmad Qurai, Prime Minister
of the Palestinian Authority and Rawhi Fatouh Speaker of the
Palestinian Legislative Council on the death of President
Yasser Arafat
Dear Prime Minister,
On behalf of the European Commission and on my own behalf, I
wish to express my most sincere condolences on the demise of
President Yasser Arafat.
The Palestinians have lost a leader who symbolised their
aspirations of a Palestinian state.
I wish to offer my deepest sympathy to the family of
President Arafat and to the Palestinian people.
The European Commission wishes to expresses its continued
commitment to a resolution of the Middle East conflict. The
Commission is working with the Palestinian Authority towards
this goal and towards ensuring a peaceful and democratic
transition in the days and weeks to come.
Yours sincerely,
Romano Prodi |
