The Foreign Office’s Minister Alistair Burt called Romanian Foreign Minister Titus Corlatean earlier this evening to express the British Government’s sincere condolences on the death of a Romanian citizen who was confirmed among the casualties of the terrorist attack in Algeria.
I would like to add my own heartfelt condolences to his family and to the Romanian people, and to all those who have lost a loved one in this terrible attack. Romania and the UK are both grieving today.
I know that both our countries will remain allied and steadfast in meeting the threat posed by terrorists who know no borders, and show no respect for human life.
