Queen Elizabeth lives with Sulawesi

- On Wednesday, British Queen Elizabeth joined the long queue of Heads of State who expressed their sympathy to the Indonesian President Joko Widodo with the victims of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on the island of Sulawesi.

'I was very sorry to hear about the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, especially because these events took place so shortly after the recent earthquake in Lombok,' the Queen wrote in a Wednesday published message.

'Prince Philip and I send our sincere condolences to all who have been touched by the disaster, and to their families,' the Queen concluded her words of participation. King Willem-Alexander was one of the first to be heard on Sunday after the natural disaster, which had already killed more than 1200 people.

Pieter van Vollenhoven dived before the north coast of Sulawesi with his son Pieter-Christiaan earlier this year, but the area they visited and the diving school with whom they sailed, did not suffer from the powerful earthquake and the devastating tsunami suffered..
