New Chilean Representative to the OAS Presents Credentials
April 8, 2010
Ambassador Darío Paya today presented his credentials to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, as the new Permanent Representative of Chile to the Organization.
In a ceremony held in the office of the Secretary General at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, the diplomat asserted that to him it is “an honor to represent Chile before the Organization of American States.”
The new representative highlighted that he is the first Ambassador of the new government of President Sebastián Piñera to present his credentials, a fact he called “an indication by our President of Chile’s relationship with her sister countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Secretary General Insulza, for his part, called Paya’s appointment “a demonstration of the importance and attention that the Chilean government wishes to place on this Organization, and the fact that he is the first to present his credentials shows the interest the President has in making himself quickly present in our Organization.”
Also present at the ceremony were the Chair of the Permanent Council and Permanent Representative of the United States, Carmen Lomellin, and the diplomatic representatives of the Chilean Mission to the OAS.
Ambassador Paya is a lawyer by profession, and was a Congressman in Chile from 1994 to 2010.
