“Boutros Boutros-Ghali devoted his life to the cause of peace and will always be remembered by his role in leading the UN in one of the most challenging periods of our history, the aftermath of the Cold War”.

Mr Rifai extended his deepest condolences to Mr Boutros-Ghali family, to the Egyptian people, and to the whole UN family.
