Please accept my most sincere condolences at the passing of Senator the Honourable Franklin Khan. I wish strength to all of his family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.

I will remember him as a humble man deeply committed to the development of the energy industry, but more importantly, to the people of Trinidad & Tobago. He was especially passionate about the development of young professionals in the industry and I know he put significant effort into this area in the past few years. Continuing that work would be a fitting tribute.
