The Organization of American States (OAS) today hosted the Ambassador of India to the U.S., Meera Shankar, at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC. Ambassador Shankar met with OAS Assistant Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin before making a presentation on India’s foreign policy objectives and perspectives toward Latin America and the Caribbean during an OAS Policy Breakfast attended by OAS Member State representatives.
Assistant Secretary General Ramdin introduced Ambassador Shankar, thanking her for the opportunity to “listen and to have an exchange, a discussion, on issues that are of interest to Member States, in the context of what is happening globally and in the Hemisphere.”
Ambassador Shankar focused her remarks on the current state and direction of India’s economy, and on her country’s approach to Latin America and the Caribbean.
“While distance was a factor in limiting the nature of engagement between our countries in the past, increasingly as India’s own outlook and economic reach becomes more global, we are looking at how we can engage Latin America more intensively,” Ambassador Shankar said. “Our trade has grown in recent years, investment from India into the region is a new phenomenon and we see this as something that will be sustained.”
The OAS Policy Breakfast series is organized by the Department of International Affairs of the OAS Secretariat for External Relations and is, in the words of Director Irene Klinger, “an opportunity to exchange views in a growingly interdependent world.”
Ambassador Shankar has served her country in Washington, DC, since April 2009. Previously, she was Ambassador of India to Germany. India has been a Permanent Observer of the OAS since 1991.
