Bill Clinton honoured with Fulbright Prize

Former President Bill Clinton has been awarded the J. William Fulbright Prize for International Understanding at a ceremony held at the International Monetary Fund Headquarters on April 12.

The honour on President Clinton is in recognition of his bold, enlightened initiatives to fight poverty, ignorance, and racial, ethnic, and religious prejudices throughout the world.

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan lauded former U.S. President Bill Clinton on Wednesday for being awarded the Fulbright Prize for International Understanding.

Created by the Fulbright Association in 1993 with the support of The Coca-Cola Foundation, the J. William Fulbright Prize for International Understanding recognizes individuals who have made extraordinary contributions towards bringing people, cultures, and nations closer.
