The government of Italy today renewed its strong support for Organization of American States (OAS) programs, with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mario Baccini underscoring a "reinvigorated interest" in the Organization's issues.
Addressing the OAS Permanent Council, the Italian official said his government highly values the Organization and its "important role in the fabric of the American continent." Italy therefore has a "reinvigorated interest" in OAS issues and in further developing its institutional relationship with the Western Hemisphere body, he said.
Baccini announced that the Italian government, which has permanent observer status with the OAS, had recently approved measures to provide financial support to the Organization's initiatives, "and we are most willing to take under examination other requests of this nature." He explained that the financial assistance would be geared primarily towards OAS programs to combat terrorism and drug trafficking, stressing that the government of Italy deems expansion of cooperation between its experts and those of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) to be "essential."
Other areas that stand to benefit further from Italian assistance include the Central American peace processes and programs to strengthen democracy and human rights. The visiting Italian dignitary also referred to his country's interest in Latin America, citing Venezuela, where many Italians live. "It is my hope that Venezuela too, with the support of the OAS, shall fulfill the conditions necessary for a renewed national harmony as soon as possible."
Chaired by United States Ambassador to the OAS, Roger Noriega, the Permanent Council meeting also received several OAS General Secretariat reports on key issues that will be considered by the Hemisphere's Foreign Ministers at the upcoming 32nd regular session of the General Assembly, in Barbados next June 2-4.
A special session (the 29th) of the OAS General Assembly has been called for tomorrow, to consider a report by Secretary General César Gaviria on the situation in Venezuela, pursuant to a Permanent Council resolution issued last Saturday.
