Property from the estate of Rafeeuddin Ahmed, New York, New York.
Mr. Rafeeuddin Ahmed had a long and distinguished diplomatic career, serving with the Pakistan Foreign Service from 1955-1969, and in 1970 embarked on the first of several distinguished roles within the United Nations Secretariat, spanning over 30 years. Between 1955 and 1968, he served at the Embassies of Cairo, Ottawa, and Beijing. Mr. Ahmed was highly respected by colleagues and those who came to know him. He was a valued mentor and a great believer in the power of multilateralism and international cooperation, and, as a tribute from the World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) notes, “…leaving behind a legacy defined not only by institutional achievement, but by humanity, wisdom and grace.”
