In a ceremony today at the headquarters of the Organization of American States (OAS), the government of the Republic of Korea formally announced a donation of computer equipment to schools in Nicaragua and Panama, through the Inter-American Children’s Institute.
OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza received confirmation of the donation – valued at some $100,000 – from the Permanent Observer of the Republic of Korea to the OAS, Ambassador Lee Tae Sik. Insulza thanked the diplomat for his country’s ongoing interest in the OAS, noting that this contribution will help support the modernization and development of primary education in Central America. He stressed that seeking equality of opportunities in education is a priority for the countries of the hemisphere.
Ambassador Lee said that although his country is geographically distant from the Americas and from the OAS, it has a close relationship in terms of working together on inter-American projects and programs. He said the Republic of Korea has had a long-term interest in Central America, adding that he hoped this contribution will bring effective benefits to the programs for which it is targeted.
Nicaragua’s Permanent Representative to the OAS, Ambassador José Luis Velásquez, noted that in recent years his country has been developing closer ties with other Pacific Rim countries and said the Korean donation will have a positive impact on his country’s education sector. “This computer equipment will help us introduce a significant group of Nicaraguan children to new information technologies,” he said.
Panama’s Alternate Representative, Resires Vargas, said his country is developing a special program for children with disabilities, adding that “the Korean donation is very timely, because those who will benefit are Panamanian children and youth with disabilities, who will have a new opportunity to receive a decent education.”
The Republic of Korea has been an observer country at the OAS since 1981.
