Governor Ralph DLG. Torres on Sunday issued the following statement on the passing of Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Vice President Yosiwo P. George.
“On behalf of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Vice President Yosiwo P. George. We also extend our thoughts and prayers to the Kosraean and FSM community in the CNMI, as we join our Micronesian brothers and sisters in mourning during this difficult time.”
“Of the times that I had the opportunity to meet with Vice President George, including at the Micronesian Islands Forum, we were able to discuss matters of policy important to the people of Micronesia. He also welcomed me to Kosrae, his home island, during my first visit there, and for that I am still thankful. We shared in commitment to serving our people, and his life of public service and leadership will not be forgotten,” said Governor Torres.
