In response to the tragic 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, Eritrea donated 50,000 USD (4 Million Yen) to Japanese victims.

In a letter written to Naoto Kan, the Prime Minister of Japan, President Isaias Afwerki expressed Eritrean peoples' deepest sorrows and sincere condolences to the victims of this tragedy. President Afwerki went on to commend the work and effort conducted by the Japanese relief agencies.

According to Japan's National Police, as of  this Wednesday, the death toll in Japan has reached 13,333 and 15,150 are still reported missing and feared to be dead.

The following quote below is a copy of President Isaias Afwerki's letter to Japan's Prime Minster, which was originally written on March 11, 2011.

His Excellency Mr. Naoto Kan

Your Excellency,

It is with great shock and deep sorrow that I have learned of the earthquake and tsunami waves in Japan which claimed the lives of thousands of people, leaving thousands more injured and many homeless.

On this sad occasion I would like to offer, on behalf of the Government and people of the State of Eritrea and on my own behalf, our sincere condolences to you and through you to all the people of Japan for the loss of lives and property destroyed by the latest earthquake and tsunami waves.

We commend the work and the effort being done by your Government for the relief of the stress and for the Humanitarian assistance to your people.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

                                                            Isaias Afwerki
                                                  President of the State of Eritrea
