OP 135/01

 

It is with great sadness that I learnt of the derailment of a goods train occasioning the death of many of your compatriots in the recent past.

As you mourn these tragic losses, the Government and the people of The Gambia join me in extending heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and to the the entire Iranian nation. We pray that the Almighty Allah grant the departed souls eternal bliss and the wounded speedy recovery.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
