The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, presided over the closing of the Civil Society Forum held within the framework of the Sixth Summit of the Americas being held this weekend in Cartagena, Colombia.
In the presence of nearly 900 social organizations from around the hemisphere, the Assistant Secretary General of the OAS stressed the importance of societal actors in resolving the great challenges of politics and governability facing the governments of the region. “You are our invaluable partners and I firmly believe that we should continue expanding our networks and alliances throughout the region in order to exchange information and ideas; to generate cutting edge proposals and to promote the kind of collective efforts that have led to great advances in economic and political development in Latin America and the Caribbean during the last two decades,” said Ramdin.
At the same time, he emphasized that “it is imperative that governments, multilateral organizations and civil society create synergies and learn in a systematic way from their successes and failures and maintain an open door policy to take advantage of opportunities to cooperate.”
As part of the tasks and debates carried out in the Civil Society Forum of the Sixth Summit of the Americas, the participating organizations drew up a document with proposals on a series of high priority issues for the communities of Latin America that will be distributed and discussed with the Foreign Ministers of all the participating countries with the goal of including the concerns and demands of civil society in the final documents and declarations of the event.
