Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as US secretary of state, has died, her family said in a statement on Wednesday. She was 84, the Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.
Then-President Bill Clinton named Albright US ambassador to the United Nations shortly after he was inaugurated in 1993, and nominated her as secretary of state three years later.
She served in the post for four years, actively promoting the expansion of NATO and military intervention in Kosovo.
In 2012, then-President Barack Obama awarded Albright the Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honour.
She was a native of Prague and came to the US as a refugee.
