New Representative of El Salvador to the OAS Presents Credentials
May 10, 2010
Ambassador Joaquín Maza Martelli today presented his credentials to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, to become the new Permanent Representative of El Salvador to the hemispheric institution.
At OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, Maza Martelli was greeted by OAS Secretary General Insulza and other ambassadors. There, he reaffirmed his country’s commitment to “strengthen its active participation in building consensus across the hemisphere and support the goals and principles of the Organization’s Charter.”
The new representative from Central America reiterated his government’s support of OAS leadership “aimed at creating an improved inter-American agenda.” He further affirmed that in the regional political context, his country “will emphasize collective action and full cooperation in the framework of the inter-American community of democratic nations as a real foundation of a democratic perspective and integral development.”
Welcoming the new representative of the government of President Mauricio Funes, Secretary General Insulza asserted that the OAS enjoys a “stable and very solid relationship with El Salvador, one that has gone on for an important period of time in the country’s history.” He also stated that “to the OAS, the ties with El Salvador have an important characteristic because it was there that many of the political processes took place that led to the democratic stability Central America enjoys today.” He also recalled that “democracy in that country paved the way for the entire region’s democratization.”
Before his designation to the OAS, Ambassador Maza was his country’s Director General of Foreign Policy and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. He also has served as his country’s representative in Colombia and Panama, and has been a lecturer at various universities in El Salvador and participated in other academic and political activities.
