Secretary-General on the death of Helmut Kohl

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on the death of Helmut Kohl

The Secretary-General learned with great sadness of the passing of former Chancellor of Germany, Mr. Helmut Kohl.
Mr. Kohl was modern Germany’s longest-serving chancellor. He played an instrumental role in the peaceful reunification of his country, within a year of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and helped set a course for the historic process of Europe’s political and economic integration. Today’s Europe is a product of his vision and his tenacity, in the face of enormous obstacles.

The Secretary-General extends his condolences to Mr. Kohl’s family and to the Government and people of Germany
