Assistant Secretary General Ramdin Attends First Brazil-CARICOM Cooperation Summit
April 26, 2010
OAS Assistant Secretary General, Ambassador Albert R. Ramdin today participated in the first Brazil-CARICOM Summit held in Brasilia. The Summit, hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, was attended at the highest level by CARICOM, including ten Heads of Government.
This historic encounter took place within the context of strengthening Brazil-Caribbean cooperation and led to the signing of some sixty agreements between Brazil and the Caribbean Community in the areas of trade, agriculture, science and technology.
“I welcome this level of South-South cooperation which I believe is an important step in strengthening relations between the countries of the Western Hemisphere” Ramdin said. The Assistant Secretary General also expressed satisfaction with “the open and frank debate on issues of significance to the hemisphere, in particular, the small economies of the Caribbean Community.”
“This high-level consultation and the technical cooperation agreements will inevitably contribute to stronger relations between Brazil and its Caribbean neighbors, and enhance multilateralism throughout the Americas,” said the OAS diplomat.
