Condolences to the Mexican people from the rostrum of the United Nations over the recent loss of human lives
“My condolences to the Mexican people over the recent loss of human lives,” said Iohannis, in the beginning of his speech held during the general debates of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, taking place in New York.
The earthquake took place exactly 32 years after the great earthquake of 1985, when 10,000 people lost their lives (30,000, according to some estimates), which remains a national trauma in Mexico.
