Ambassador Arturo Duarte Ortiz presented credentials Tuesday as the new Permanent Representative of Guatemala to the Organization of American States (OAS), renewing his government's "commitment to the OAS Charter principles and mandates."
"The foundation established in Bogotá back in 1948 is still guiding us as we strive to build a Hemisphere with democracy and equality as the raison d'être of our nations' daily coexistence," Ambassador Duarte declared on presenting the accreditation letters to Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi. Duarte commended the OAS for "laying the foundation for a safer and more peaceful Hemisphere that is free from poverty."
Welcoming Duarte back to the OAS and to issues that have always inspired his professional endeavors, the Assistant Secretary General reviewed "the problems we have to tackle together" and remarked that the Guatemalan diplomat was returning to the OAS with democratic solidarity fully at center stage, not just because of the war on terrorism and corruption but because of the growing move towards integration based on respect for the idiosyncrasies and sovereignty of each nation."
Ambassador Arturo Duarte has served as Director General of International, Multilateral and Economic Relations in the Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as Director of the Guatemalan National Indigenous Institute, among other senior positions he has held in his country's Foreign Service.
He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in Latin American studies and anthropology from the State University of Albany in New York, State University of Brasilia, Brazil and the State University of San Carlos, Guatemala.
