19/03/2012--CHICAGO--In response to the news that Tongan King George Tupou V has passed away, His Sovereign Majesty King Adam I sent this letter to the Tongan Government:

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with I heavy heart that I learnt of the passing of His Majesty King George Tupou V, and I wish to extend the condolences of the Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia and her people to your nation and the Royal Family in this difficult time. King George Tupou V's vision and leadership have transformed Tonga into a truly open nation, and have put her people on the path to freedom, justice and democracy. We shall miss him very dearly and hope that his legacy is continued by his successor and brother ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho.

The hearts of every Kemetian go out to our Tongan brethren, and we hope that Tongan-Kemetian relations remain stable and steadfast.

Sincerely Yours,

His Sovereign Majesty King Adam I of Kemetia

Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia
