Richard Boucher, who served as the spokesman for the State Department and assistant secretary of state for public affairs, passed away at the age of 73. He died at his home in northern Virginia after battling spindle-cell sarcoma, a form of cancer.

Boucher was a prominent figure in U.S. foreign policy, representing various secretaries of state across different administrations. He served as the spokesperson for James Baker, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice.

During his career, Boucher’s diplomatic assignments took him to Africa, Asia, and Washington. He played a key role in resolving the U.S.-China spy plane crisis in 2001, leveraging his experience as U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong.

After his tenure as spokesperson, Boucher held the position of assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia and later became the ambassador to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Colleague Charles Wolfson praised Boucher for his diplomatic skills and professionalism, describing him as both an effective spokesperson and a valued friend.

“He was a superb diplomat, an excellent spokesman and an even better human being,” Wolfson remarked.
