The world’s longest-serving former Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal died on Thursday at the age of 75.
He retired in April after serving 40 years as foreign minister.
US Secretary of State John Kerry called the politician not only the longest serving foreign minister, but also one of the wisest. US embassy in the Kingdom quoted him on their official twitter in Arabic.
