Statement by the President on the Passing of Prince Saud bin Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
On
behalf of the American people, I express my deep condolences to the
family of Prince Saud bin Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to King Salman,
and to the people of Saudi Arabia
on the loss of such a committed and accomplished diplomat.
As
the world’s longest serving Foreign Minister, Prince Saud witnessed
some of the most challenging periods in the region. At each turn, he
advanced the goals of peace, whether
negotiating the end to Lebanon’s civil war or helping to launch the
Arab Peace Initiative.
Generations
of American leaders and diplomats benefited from Prince Saud’s
thoughtful perspective, charisma and poise, and diplomatic skill. He
was committed to the importance
of the U.S.-Saudi relationship and the pursuit of stability and
security in the Middle East and beyond, and his legacy will be
remembered around the world. May God grant him peace.
