The new Permanent Observer of Italy to the Organization of American States (OAS), Simone De Santi, presented his credentials to the Secretary General of the Organization, Luis Almagro.
During the ceremony at the OAS headquarters in Washington DC, Ambassador De Santi recalled the historical ties that link his country to the American continent “where more than 60 million people of Italian root reside”, and the common values that his country shares with the OAS, especially "a deep conviction of the value of multilateralism and international cooperation."
For his part, the OAS Secretary General, Luis Almagro, highlighted the Italian influence in the Western Hemisphere and the cooperation programs that the Organization carries out jointly with the European country. "Italy's contributions to the Organization are key and that effort has been reflected in several electoral observation missions and in various OAS activities in Nicaragua, Colombia, Honduras, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru, to name a few," he said.
Italy has been an OAS Permanent Observer country since 1972.
