MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NATION OF SOUTH AFRICA ON THE DEATH OF

NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA

[18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013]

We are deeply sorry to learn of the passing at age of 95 of the former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. Upon his passing,

South Africa and the whole world have lost a formidable fighter for freedom and justice. His strength, moral conviction and unconditional

sacrifices have made South Africa and its people prosperous and stronger. We forever miss his kindness and moral authority.

Yours sincerely,

H.I.H. Prince Regent Kien Hoa Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh of Vietnam

Duke of Kien Hoa
