Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has passed away at age 100. The original 'shuttle diplomat', Mr Kissinger was involved in many events throughout the world during the 1960s and 1970s and remained active in politics even until his 90s. He was known as one of the most polarising figures in the political world.
At all costs, Richard Nixon said, Gerald Ford must keep Henry Kissinger as his Secretary of State. Henry is a genius, he explained. He ll be very loyal, but you can t let him have a totally free hand.
In a statement, Kissinger Associates Inc. said that Kissinger would be interred at a private family service, before a public memorial service in New York City.
