As I had conveyed to you during our telephone conversation on 28 December, Singapore stands in solidarity with Indonesia during this difficult time. We will continue to work closely with Indonesia in the recovery operation and provide further assistance that may be required.

Yours sincerely,


LEE HSIEN LOONG
