Your Excellency,
On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Singapore, I offer our condolences on the passing of Dr Gyula Horn.
Dr Horn was a visionary leader who helped to bring down the Iron Curtain in 1989. He played a key role in Hungary's transition to a market economy, and in preparing Hungary for entry into NATO and the EU.
I was honoured to have met Dr Horn when he visited Singapore in 1997, and deeply appreciate Dr Horn's valuable contributions to Singapore-Hungary relations. He will be missed.
Yours sincerely
LEE HSIEN LOONG
His Excellency Viktor Orbán
Prime Minister
Hungary
