M. Richard Ferrand
President of the National Assembly
French Republic
Esteemed Colleague,
It is with utter shock and great sadness that we learned of the massive fire at Notre-Dame, a symbol of your capital city of Paris.
On behalf of the House of Representatives of Japan, I offer the deepest sympathy to the people of France, and sincerely hope for the day when the cathedral is restored to its former beauty.
Yours sincerely, |
