Book of Condolences for the Earthquake in Sichuan

Dear CPN members and friends,

On Sunday May 18th China announced three days of national mourning between May 19th and 21st. The three-day period of mourning will begin at 2:28 pm on Monday, exactly one week after the quake struck the southwestern Sichuan province. At the same time, a memorial website will be set up to mourn the victims: http://www.china5000.org.cn/flower/index.htm.

The Chinese Embassy in Norway will be open to the general public during the three-day mourning period, with the purpose of giving people an opportunity to express their condolence. See detailed information here.

You are free to distribute the information to your Norwegian friends. Please note appropriate dress code.
