Message of condolence on the death of Mr. Harry S. Truman, former President of U.S.A. on December 27, 1972

We are deeply grieved at the sad demise of the former United States President Mr. Harry S. Truman. The world has lost a great leader and an elder statesman and the United States one of its most distinguished citizens. History will remember Mr. Truman for his courage, vision and determination in helping to evolve a new structure of post-war peace in the form of the United Nations Organization.

As we mourn this irreparable loss to the United States and indeed to the whole world, our sympathies go out to the members of the bereaved family and to the American people.
