Belize Extends Condolences on the Passing of Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter

The government and people of Belize extend heartfelt condolences to the Carter family and the United States of America on the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X, “The Government of Belize extends heartfelt condolences on the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. His dedication to peace and democracy worldwide, including his support of the Price Centre, will always be remembered.”

President Carter, celebrated globally for his commitment to democracy, peace, and humanitarian efforts, held a special place in the hearts of Belizeans. His steadfast support for Belize’s independence and territorial integrity during a critical period in the nation’s history remains a testament to his enduring friendship with the Jewel.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, Belize awarded President Carter the prestigious Order of Belize last year. This honour acknowledged his advocacy for Belize’s sovereignty, as well as his efforts to improve the lives of Belizeans through initiatives like the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, which provided homes to families in need.

President Carter’s remarkable legacy of service, leadership, and global unity will continue to inspire generations worldwide, including in Belize.

The United Democratic Party (UDP) in a press statement said, “His legacy as a champion for democracy, human dignity, and sustainable progress is one that will continue to inspire present and future generations worldwide, including in Belize. His unwavering support for the principles of peace and mutual respect reinforced the importance of collaboration among nations.”
