Farewell Ceremony for Madeleine Albright Held in Washington

A farewell ceremony for Madeleine Albright was held in Washington. This is reported by Interfax.

It is noted that current U.S. President Joe Biden, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended to pay their respects.

Albright became the first woman to hold the post of U.S. Secretary of State, serving from 1997 to 2001. She never sought the presidency of the United States, as she was born not in the U.S., but in Czechoslovakia.
