I deplore the death of my friend, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and extend to his family from myself and my colleagues at the World Bank expressions of consolation and concern at this time. I had the privilege of working with the former Prime Minister in strengthening his country. I was deeply impressed by his commitment and his concern for the Lebanese people. This type of tragedy does nothing but set back the cause of peace and social justice in Lebanon and in the region.
