In the message sent Tuesday evening, Park said she thinks of the crash as truly regrettable, offers sympathy to the victims, and expresses gratitude for U.S. efforts to cope with its aftermath, including a joint probe to determine what caused the crash, according to spokeswoman Kim Haing.

Park also promised to make the best efforts to normalize the situation at an early date, Kim said.
