Kingdom of Belgium


Dear Mrs Dehaene

I was saddened to learn of the passing of your husband, Mr Jean-Luc Dehaene.

I had the privilege of meeting Mr Dehaene on several occasions when I was Prime Minister, in and outside Belgium.  I especially appreciated the warm hospitality shown by both of you during my visit to Belgium in 1996.

Mr Dehaene contributed tirelessly to Belgium and to Europe.  He was a friend of Singapore and helped to enhance relations between our two countries.

I offer my heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Yours sincerely,

GOH CHOK TONG
