John McCain Receives the 2018 Henry A. Kissinger Prize
BERLIN—May 3, 2018—The American Academy in Berlin has awarded the 2018
Henry A. Kissinger Prize to United States Senator John McCain (R-AZ). The prize
was privately bestowed, and there will be no award ceremony.
The prize, which is awarded annually to a renowned figure in the field
of international diplomacy, recognizes Senator McCain for his principled
leadership throughout six decades of public service, his unwavering political
courage, and a persistent ability to rally colleagues to bipartisan solutions
to some of the most difficult challenges facing the United States.
On the world stage, Senator McCain has long advocated for a
strong, confident European Union, a robust and committed NATO, and the steeled
continuation of the transatlantic alliance.
The Henry A. Kissinger Prize has been awarded since 2007.
It was established to honor a Founding Chairman of the American
Academy in Berlin, former US Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, whose
initiatives to create and sustain a stable East-West relationship helped to lay
the foundation for change in Europe, the end of the Cold War, and the
unification of Germany.
Previous recipients of the prize are former German Chancellor
Helmut Schmidt; 41st President of the United States George H.W. Bush; former President
of the Federal Republic of Germany Richard von Weizsäcker; former New York
Mayor and philanthropist Michael R. Bloomberg; former German Chancellor Helmut
Kohl; former US Secretary of State George P. Shultz; founder of the Munich
Security Conference Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist; former US Secretary of State
James A. Baker, III; former President of Italy Giorgio Napolitano and former
