China General Chamber of Commerce-USA (CGCC) is deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of our long-time friend, the 56th U.S. Secretary of State, trailblazer, and lifelong contributor to U.S.-China relations, Dr. Henry Kissinger.

Dr. Kissinger had been a staunch supporter of CGCC and its mission for many years.

This past January, CGCC awarded Dr. Kissinger with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the CGCC 2023 Lunar New Year of the Rabbit Gala for his achievements and lifelong commitment toward U.S.-China relations.

In 2017, Dr. Kissinger attended the CGCC 2017 Lunar New Year of the Rooster Gala, giving the keynote speech in which he shared his perspectives and the strategic importance of the bilateral relationship between the United States and China.

Dr. Kissinger was a pivotal figure in the normalization of U.S.-China relations and will be forever remembered for his indelible mark on the history of the bilateral relationship.

CGCC extends its deepest condolences to Mrs. Nancy Kissinger and her family.
