On behalf of the people, the government, and the Embassy of Afghanistan, I express my deepest condolences to the people of Denmark for the loss of three Danish troops in Afghanistan yesterday.

The troops, who were part of the Danish Battle Group, were killed yesterday by a road side explosion that hit their vehicle as they were driving from the Main Operating Base Price to the Patrol Base Barakhzai in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.

The people of Afghanistan are grateful towards the people of Denmark for their generous support to Afghanistan and for their commitment to the cause of peace and development in the world. The sacrifice offered by the three Danish soldiers exemplifies this deep commitment, and the Afghan people honour their memory. We send our deepest condolences to the Danish people and government, and the families of the fallen troops.
