OAS ANNOUNCES FORMER DIPLOMAT OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
AS NEXT COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE IN HAITI
March 30, 2007
Assistant Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin today hailed the appointment of Arthur Gray, a Trinidad and Tobago diplomat and former official of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to be the next Organization of American States (OAS) country representative in Haiti. Gray’s appointment, made by OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza, becomes effective on April 1.
In welcoming the appointment, Ambassador Ramdin, who chairs the Organization’s Haiti Task Force, commended Gray’s CARICOM experience as an asset that complements his experience with the inter-American system. “His management skills, his leadership and his understanding of the challenges Haiti is facing will provide the OAS an opportunity to continue to deliver the best services to the country and to the people of Haiti,” Ramdin said, noting also Gray’s experience with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
Gray’s most recent appointments include consultancies with CARICOM and with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Prior to that, he served as regional economic advisor for the Caribbean subregional headquarters of ECLAC, based in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. On secondment from the Trinidad and Tobago Foreign Service, he served the CARICOM Secretariat as Director of Foreign Policy and External Economic Relations, among other posts. Gray joined his country’s foreign service in 1973, serving in several capacities at headquarters and at the embassy in Venezuela, the High Commission in London, and the Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva.
His academic credentials include a Bachelor’s degree in economics; a Master of Arts in Latin American government and politics; and a Master of Science in international relations, the latter from the University of the West Indies. Besides his native English, he speaks Spanish and French, among other languages.
