The New Zealand Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the consulate in Dubai on Wednesday opened condolence books for residents to leave their messages of sympathy and support over the terrorist attacks on two Christchurch mosques, which claimed 50 lives.
"We received members of the public, New Zealanders, diplomats and other dignitaries who wished to express their sympathies with the victims of the terrorist attack in Christchurch. We were also very pleased to receive the New Zealand Special Olympic team," Matthew Hawkins, New Zealand's Ambassador to the UAE, said in a statement. "This is a difficult time not only for New Zealanders and other nationalities living overseas, but also for Emiratis who have been affected by this event. I am deeply appreciative of the messages of support from the UAE. Our condolence books will therefore be open again for signing on Thursday and Sunday."
The NZ Embassy in Abu Dhabi & Consulate General in Dubai received visitors to sign books of condolence today. Thank you to the many Emiratis, kiwis and others who joined us. Books will be open again Thursday & Sunday 10.00am to 2.00pm. Details here: https://t.co/F7wJtFiZuF pic.twitter.com/M3mEdQHk6r
