PARLIAMENTARIANS ENDORSE SPANISH COOPERATION WITH THE OAS
November 6, 2009
A delegation of Spanish Parliamentarians members of the Development Commission today held an exchange with high-level authorities of the Organization of American States (OAS) in a meeting chaired by the OAS Assistant Secretary General, Albert Ramdin.
During the visit, which took place at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C., parliamentarians Delia Blanco (President of the Spanish Socialist Party of Madrid), Joan Calabuig (Socialist Workers’ Party), Gonzalo Robles (People’s Party), Carles Campuzano (Democratic Convergence of Cataluña), Jose Maria Codes (Lawyer of the International Development Commission), and Almudena Lopez Garrido (Commission Secretary), learned about the programs and initiatives developed by the OAS and renewed their commitment to Latin America and their interest in strengthening the existing ties with the region.
Welcoming the spokespersons, OAS Assistant Secretary General valued the fact that Spain is one of the oldest Permanent Observer to the OAS. He also highlighted the support received from this European nation in several of the organization’s priority issues, and encouraged the continuing Spanish support not only at the level of financial assistance and cooperation, but also on broader issues.
“This is a very important organization and everything that occurs in the region is of our concern,” said Parliamentarian Joan Calabuig, who alluded to the approach that Spain will take towards Latin America, mainly after January 2010, when it will assume chairmanship of the European Union. He also commented on the importance of working on issues such as the link between immigration and development. Other parliamentarians also alluded to the relevance the region and OAS countries have for them.
Spain became a Permanent Observer to the OAS in 1972. Since then it has become a key partner of the organization by supporting programs in areas such as gender equity, human rights, institutional support, peace promotion, electoral missions, citizen participation and access to justice, among others.
