Morocco’s King offers condolences to U.S. President following demise of Jimmy Carter

King Mohammed VI has sent a message of condolences and compassion to President of the United States Joe Biden, following the death of the former U.S. President Jimmy Carter that he described as “a man of reconciliation and dialogue”.

In this message, the Sovereign expressed deep sorrow over the news of the passing of President Jimmy Carter, “a man of reconciliation and dialogue,” and paid tribute to the legacy of the late American President.

On this painful circumstance, the King offered to Biden, to Carter’s relatives, and to the American people his sincere condolences and deepest sympathy.

The Monarch recalled the official visit the Late King Hassan II paid to the United States at the invitation of the late Jimmy Carter, in November 1978.

“The meetings held, on that occasion, reaffirmed the depth and scope of the longstanding relations uniting the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States of America. They also underscored the strategic nature of their partnership as well as the common views they had on peace-related issues,” the Monarch emphasized in his message.

State funeral will be held on January 9 for Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived former president, who died at the age of 100 on Sunday. The 39th president of the United States earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
