His Excellency Narenda Modi

Prime Minister

Republic of India

New Delhi, India

Excellency:

​I express the heartfelt sympathy of the people and Government of Antigua and Barbuda on the deaths caused in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, by terrorists who attacked innocent and defenseless men, women and children, killing 27 civilians. I have learned that many more innocent civilians were seriously injured in the attack. I pray for their recovery.

Antigua and Barbuda joins the global community in condemning those who would unleash deadly violence on innocent persons, in order to advance their narrow ambitions. Barbarism has no place in a world in which peace and justice are the pursuits of every nation. The harm and pain which are inflicted on innocent humans cannot be justified.

​The people and Government of Antigua and Barbuda will forever reject the course of action which these murderous groups have adopted; all civilized people continue to oppose violence against innocent civilians for any purpose.  

​I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.

Honourable Gaston Browne M.P.

Prime Minister
