The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met today with the President of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), Vuk Jeremic, with whom he spoke about the role of international agencies in promoting sustainable development.

At the meeting, which took place during the 43 OAS General Assembly, in Antigua, Guatemala, Secretary General Insulza thanked former minister Jeremic for the commitment he had shown toward supporting the activities of the OAS through his uninterrupted attendance at the last seven meetings of the hemispheric body.

In turn, the Serbian diplomat extended an invitation for Secretary General Insulza "to provide a Latin American perspective" during the debate on sustainable development that is to take place at the UN General Assembly in New York City next September. The former Minster of Foreign Affairs of Serbia also used the occasion to reiterate his country’s interest in forging ties with the countries of the Americas through the OAS.
