Transcript of Remarks on the Death of Baroness Thatcher
Beijing, People's Republic of China
PM: The world has woken to the news that Margaret Thatcher has died.
I did want to offer my condolences to Margaret Thatcher's family.
Margaret Thatcher was a woman who changed history for women.
Obviously, Margaret Thatcher and I did not share a political outlook on the world.
But as a woman, I am admiring of her achievements becoming the first woman to lead the United Kingdom, the first female Prime Minister there.
Many around the world will be reflecting upon her life and times today, as is appropriate with the loss of such a significant figure.
For women around the world, they will be reflecting on the loss of a woman who showed a new way forward for women and a way into leadership.
