President of the Republic of Indonesia
H.E. Megawati Soekarnoputri

Your Excellency,

I have heard that Jakarta and some other areas of Indonesia are being stricken by severe floods recently. On behalf of the Chinese Government and in my own name, I would like to extend to Your Excellency and, through Your Excellency to the Indonesian people in the afflicted regions my deep sympathy and sincere solicitude. I am confident that, under the leadership of Your Excellency and the Indonesian Government, the Indonesian people in the disaster area will definitely conquer the flood and rehabilitate their homeland.
