His Excellency Mr. Volkan Bozkir, President of the 75th Session of the General Assembly,

Excellencies, distinguished delegates,

 

On behalf of the Asia-Pacific Group, I would like to extend our deepest and sincerest condolences to the people of the Republic of Haiti, in addition to our dear colleagues at the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Haiti to the United Nations, on the passing of their late President, His Excellency Jovenel Moïse, on 7 July 2021.

 

It is with great sorrow and shock that we learned of the tragic passing of the late President last week. We join our dear colleagues at the Permanent Mission of Haiti and the people of Haiti in mourning this shocking loss while wishing the First Lady a speedy recovery.

 

President Moïse as the leader, despite all the challenges he faced, he served his country with great pride and dedication.

 

Once again, I would like to conclude by reiterating the heartfelt condolences of the Member States of the Asia-Pacific Group to the late President’s family and loved ones. May his soul rest in peace. We call for peace and security to the people of Haiti.
