News, Postbag, Published on 02/12/2017
» It is with the greatest sorrow that I, and all of us at the Economic Research Institute for Asean and East Asia (ERIA), learned of the passing of Dr Surin Pitsuwan. A statesman without parallel, a man of both vision and warmth, a leader for Asean like no other. Asia, in fact the whole world, suffered a great loss today. At ERIA, he was a most engaged special adviser to the president who provided guidance and inspiration. He will be greatly missed.
