World leaders from across the globe are expressing their sincere condolences as the U.S. mourns the death<\/a> of former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel took to X<\/a> to give his commiserations in the wake of Carter\u2019s death, writing, “Condolences to the people and government of the United States, especially to the family and loved ones of President James Carter. Our people will remember with gratitude his efforts to improve relations, his visits to Cuba and his statement in favor of the freedom of the (Cuban) Five.”<\/p>\n

In his one term in the White House, Carter struck the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, helped take the world further from nuclear proliferation with the second Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT), signed the Panama Canal Treaties, which ended a century of direct American control over the crucial canal, and deregulated the nation’s airline industry.<\/p>\n

Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to find peaceful solutions when dealing with international conflicts, leaving many world leaders<\/a> to applaud his work promoting economic and social development as well as human rights.<\/p>\n

“We express our heartfelt condolences to the American people and to the family of former US President Jimmy Carter<\/a> on his passing. He was a leader who served during a time when Ukraine was not yet independent, yet his heart stood firmly with us in our ongoing fight for freedom. We deeply appreciate his steadfast commitment to Christian faith and democratic values, as well as his unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of Russia\u2019s unprovoked aggression. He devoted his life to promoting peace in the world and defending human rights. Today, let us remember: peace matters, and the world must remain united in standing against those who threaten these values. May his memory be eternal,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/a><\/p>\n

Long-time allies of the U.S. the Royal Family\u2019s King Charles<\/a> also took to social media to express his sorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of former President Carter. He was a committed public servant, and devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights. His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter\u2019s family and the American people at this time.”<\/p>\n

Carter died at his home in Georgia surrounded by his family.<\/p>\n

“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” said Chip Carter, the former president\u2019s son. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs.\u00a0The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
