\u201cI make heartfelt prayers for my friend and offer condolences to his daughter, Irina Virganskaya and members of his family, his friends and supporters,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had enormous respect for him and his efforts to introduce greater openness and transformation, as well as for his opposition to nuclear war. He worked actively to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the years I had the great honour to meet him on many occasions when we both took part in peace forums in different parts of the world. We have remained in close contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMikhail Gorbachev was a man of vision and an exemplary statesman. Even after his retirement he continued to be committed to promoting peace and reconciliation in the world. His initiation of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates has allowed Nobel Peace Laureates and their respective organizations to come together regularly to apply their collective thoughts to bringing about a more caring, peaceful world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe lived a meaningful life,\u201d His Holiness concluded. \u201cWe should continue to keep his spirit alive by emulating the enthusiasm and determination with which he encouraged freedom and worked to create a demilitarised world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
