The Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development (CIRSD) deeply mourns the passing of Mohamed Benaissa, a distinguished diplomat, statesman, and a founding member of our Advisory Board.
A towering figure in international diplomacy, Mohamed Benaissa was among the Middle East’s most respected voices in global affairs. His wisdom, leadership, and unwavering commitment to fostering dialogue and cooperation left an indelible mark on those who had the privilege of knowing him.
For CIRSD, he was more than an esteemed board member—he was a guiding force, a mentor, and a source of invaluable counsel. His contributions to our journal Horizons enriched global discourse, reflecting his deep understanding of the complexities of our world.
As we honor his memory, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the countless individuals whose lives he touched.
May his legacy continue to inspire, and may he find eternal peace in this sacred month.
