Former US President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100, was remembered by world leaders for his extraordinary leadership, humanitarian work, and unwavering commitment to peace and justice.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Joe Biden led US presidents and other world leaders in paying tribute to Jimmy Carter, who died aged 100. 'America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian,' Biden said in a statement released by the White House on Sunday. He added later in a televised address that Carter 'lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds.' 'We'd all do well to try and be a little more like Jimmy Carter.
' President-elect Donald Trump said Americans owe Carter 'a debt of gratitude.' 'The challenges Jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,' he said on social media. Among former US presidents, Bill Clinton said his predecessor had 'worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world.' George W. Bush said Carter 'dignified the office. And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn't end with the presidency.' Barack Obama hailed Carter for teaching 'all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice and service.' The 39th US president 'was early to recognize that protecting our shared planet and promoting global public health were vital to national security interests,' Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Carter would be remembered 'for his solidarity with the vulnerable, his abiding grace, and his unrelenting faith in the common good and our common humanity.' World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted Carter's post-presidency work with his foundation 'saved countless lives and helped bring many neglected tropical diseases close to elimination.' Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi praised Carter as 'a symbol of humanitarian efforts' for his role in brokering the historic 1978 Camp David Accords, which established peace between Egypt and its most serious adversary at the time, Israel
