In a statement to media, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he “was deeply saddened to learn of the death of former President George Herbert Walker Bush, a leader who served the United States with distinction and supported the United Nations with dedication.”
Former United States President George H.W. Bush died Friday (30 Nov) at 94. He served as United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 1971 to 1973 and also as the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the South Asia Earthquake Disaster in 2005.
In his statement, the Secretary-General further said “across the years I was consistently impressed by his compassion, instinct for moderation and commitment to public service. At this time of loss, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and the Government and people of the United States.”
