OAS SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH SECRETARIAT FOR IBERO-AMERICAN COOPERATION
June 27, 2002
The Organization of American States and the Secretariat for Ibero-American Cooperation (SECIB) today signed a cooperation agreement to pursue specific social, educational, scientific and cultural programs jointly.
"There are a number of initiatives we could pursue together to benefit our people," OAS Secretary General César Gaviria declared, after signing the agreement with SECIB Secretary Jorge Alberto Lozoya and Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD) Director General Ronald Scheman.
The SECIB Secretary observed that both institutions had the same mandates arising from the hemispheric and Ibero-American Summit. "Through the OAS' Cooperation Agency we will find common ground to work in such areas as fellowships policy formulation or the common market of knowledge."
For his part, the Director General of the IACD—the executing agency for the agreement—touched on areas of cooperation, stressing the hemispheric cooperation agency's readiness to move on initiatives identified.
After the signing, Spain's Permanent Observer to the OAS, Ambassador Eduardo Gutiérrez, noted how the OAS' and SECIB's activities complement one another. He said, "This collaboration involves not only pursuing joint projects but also expanding the lines of communication between the two institutions, and with the IACD in particular."
Besides agreeing to co-host conferences, seminars and other academic and scientific meetings, the OAS and SECIB will designate observers to each other's meetings and conferences. They also propose to regularly share basic and legal documents as well as bibliographic and audio-visual materials.
