The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) today welcomed the new Permanent Representative of Mexico to the OAS, Ambassador Alejandro García Moreno Elizondo.
Ambassador García Moreno, who presented credentials to Secretary General José Miguel Insulza during a ceremony earlier today, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to continue working with the Organization to advance the issues of the Inter-American agenda, such as human rights, socioeconomic development and the strengthening of democracy.
“The OAS, as a permanent hemispheric forum, is the place where our nations can move forward and consolidate an institutional architecture, built on the pillars of the Charter of the Organization, the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the mandates from the General Assembly,” said the diplomat, in his first address to the Council.
The Mexican diplomat underscored the need to work together to combat threats to security in the continent such as organized crime, terrorism and natural disasters. “I am completely convinced that the success of the tasks set out in the Declaration on Security in the Americas depends upon our capacity to carry out efforts and agree on actions that will overcome these challenges that have no borders,” said the Ambassador.
The Ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago, Marina Valere, who chaired today’s Permanent Council session, welcomed the new envoy “to the family of the Americas,” adding that she was certain that García Moreno would continue the “excellent work” of his predecessor, particularly his efforts on the Special Committee on Organized Crime.
