On Wednesday, November 29, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died for the 100th year of life. The world community responded to his death with sadness and expressed gratitude for his contribution to world diplomacy.
Who was Henry Kissinger?
Henry Kissinger was a prominent American diplomat and laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize. He worked as a national security advisor in the administrations of Presidents of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. His contribution included participating in the resolution of global issues, such as Vietnam War, diplomatic discovery of China and negotiations with the Soviet Union.
The reaction of the world:
- Presidential Office of Ukraine:
- "He was contradictory but undoubtedly outstanding.
- Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba:
- "Henry Kissinger was not easy, but the great challenges were in line with his great mind. His intellectual heritage would continue to influence the understanding of diplomacy and world order. It was honest for me."
- Lord David Cameron:
- "The war in Ukraine was discussing with Mr Kissindger before his death. Only a few months ago, we discussed such broad issues as Iran's threat and challenges created by Russia and China. Even 100 years, his wisdom and thoughtfulness shone through."
With his death, the world loses not only a recognized diplomat, but also a person who has influenced the key events of world history.
