“On his death, US has lost a statesman and KSA lost a friend,” Adel Al-Jubeir said in a tweet on Thursday.

Former US president George H.W. Bush, who helped steer America through the end of the Cold War, has died at age 94, his family announced late Friday.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath says Bush died shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush. The nation’s 41st president served from 1989 to 1993, and eight years later watched his son George W. became the 43rd president.
