“Excellency,

The Government and people of the Republic of Guyana join with the international community in expressing sincere condolences on the

loss of lives which resulted from the Boston Marathon bombing.  I wish to convey on behalf of the people of Guyana and on my own behalf, our sympathies to the bereaved families.
The Government of Guyana strongly condemns this dastardly attack on the citizenry of the United States of America, and reiterates its firm support for the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
We trust that the people of Boston will find comfort from the outpouring of support and sympathy.
Donald Ramotar
President of the Republic of Guyana”
