Welcome
Foreign Minister Maas on the earthquake in Indonesia
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas issued the following statement today (29 September) on the earthquake and subsequent tsunami off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi :
The news reports from Indonesia are shocking. Once again, hundreds of people have been killed by a tsunami; once again, a natural disaster has brought unimaginable suffering to an entire region.
My thoughts at this difficult time are with all Indonesians who have lost friends or family members. I wish the injured a speedy recovery and all the people in Indonesia strength and faith in the future at this difficult time.
