The Government of Panama, through its Permanent Representation to the Organization of American States (OAS), today presented a donation of $10,000 for the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and another of $10,000 for the Joint OAS - CARICOM Electoral Observation Mission in Haiti.
The two donations were presented by the Permanent Representative of Panama to the OAS, Guillermo Cochez, to the Organization's Secretary General, Jose Miguel Insulza.
Secretary General Insulza thanked the contributions from the Government of Panama for such important causes and took the opportunity to recognize the "enormous contribution" that is the maintenance in Panama of the headquarters of the OAS Technical Secretariat for the Implementation of the Program of Action for the Decade of the Americas for the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities, which "carries out an important work made possible almost exclusively thanks to the Government of Panama," he said, adding that he hoped that "all countries could contribute voluntarily to the OAS in the same way as Panama."
Ambassador Cochez, for his part, highlighted the support of Panama for the activities of the OAS and explained that he considers it "vital to our survival as a democratic country to support all the activities of the OAS and at the same time to urge the other countries to do the same."
The Interamerican Democratic Charter was approved on September 11, 2001, in Lima, Peru, in a special session of the OAS General Assembly. The Joint OAS - CARICOM Electoral Observation Mission in Haiti has closely followed the electoral process in the Caribbean country to culminate this Sunday, March 20, with the second round of presidential and legislative elections.
