The president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, released the following statement on the passing of Morton Abramowitz, the seventh president of Carnegie.
“We were saddened to learn of the passing of Ambassador Morton Abramowitz, who served as the seventh president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace from 1991 to 1997. During a long and distinguished career in diplomacy and civil society, he made important contributions to American foreign policy. He served as U.S. ambassador to major countries under presidents from different parties and reminded us that the fate of people around the world affects American interests and prospects for a lasting peace. At Carnegie, his many contributions included creating the Carnegie Moscow Center in the early 1990s, mentoring future leaders in international affairs, and constructing Carnegie’s headquarters building in Washington, DC. His life embodied a spirit of practical engagement with the world to advance the worthiest goals, and his legacy lives on at Carnegie, inspiring those working to reduce international conflict, advance cooperation, and strengthen democracy,” said Tino Cuéllar, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
