Following the devastating earthquake hitting China, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Antonella Mularoni, sent a message of sympathy to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Peoples Republic of China, Yang Jiechi:
Minister,
I wish to express, on behalf of the Government and People of the Republic of San Marino, great sorrow for the terrible earthquake which has affected the Qinghai region, thus causing many victims and heavy damage. My Country shares the grief of the friendly Chinese nation and I confirm you that, in the measure allowed by its limited size, San Marino will provide concrete support to alleviate the consequences of this tragedy as far as possible.
