Statement by the G8, the Leaders of Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa and the Heads of the International
Organisations represented here.
We condemn utterly these barbaric attacks. We send our profound condolences to the victims and their families. All of
our countries have suffered from the impact of terrorism. Those responsible have no respect for human life. We are
united in our resolve to confront and defeat this terrorism that is not an attack on one nation, but on all nations and
on civilised people everywhere.
We will not allow violence to change our societies or our values. Nor will we allow it to stop the work of this Summit.
We will continue our deliberations in the interests of a better world. Here at this Summit, the world's leaders are
striving to combat world poverty and save and improve human life. The perpetrators of today's attacks are intent on
destroying human life
The terrorists will not succeed.
Today's bombings will not weaken in any way our resolve to uphold the most deeply held principles of our societies and
to defeat those who would impose their fanaticism and extremism on all of us. We shall prevail. They shall not.
