President Michael D. Higgins, accompanied by his wife, Sabina, visited the American Embassy in Dublin today to sign the book of condolences following the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. The visit marked a formal expression of sympathy and respect from the Irish government and people for the late leader, known for his humanitarian work and significant contributions to global peace.
President Carter, who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, was remembered for his post-presidential efforts, particularly through the Carter Center, which has worked on issues related to human rights, global health, and conflict resolution.
The signing of the condolence book comes as part of a broader international response to Carter’s death, with leaders from around the world honoring his legacy. Ireland, with its historical ties to the United States and appreciation for Carter’s advocacy of human rights, joined in commemorating his life and service.
