CHILEAN FOREIGN MINISTER SUPPORTS INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN BY THE OAS SECRETARY GENERAL IN HONDURAS
August 13, 2009
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Minister of Foreign Relations of Chile, Mariano Fernández Amunátegui, met Thursday at the OAS Headquarters in Washington, DC, with the Honduran crisis as their main concern.
The Chilean Minister expressed to Secretary General Insulza the support of his government for the initiatives undertaken by the head of the OAS to find a solution to the crisis arisen in Honduras after the June 28 coup d’état that ousted the constitutionally elected president, José Manuel Zelaya Rosales.
“The reason for the meeting was to tell the Secretary General that the Government of Chile fully supports his initiatives, as we have already indicated within the Organization,” said the Minister. Mr. Fernández said his Government is ready to help “with anything possible” so that the delegation of Foreign Ministers set to soon travel to Honduras “may succeed.”
Mr. Fernánez highlighted the need to successfully move forward with the solution proposed by the President of Costa Rica, Óscar Arias, as well as the need to “restore democracy in Honduras, return President Zelaya to power and let the constitutional process in that country follow its course.”
Secretary General Insulza expressed his satisfaction after the meeting, which lasted approximately one hour. “I am very thankful for this visit of the Chilean Foreign Minister, who offered me the full support of my country on the initiatives that we are currently undertaking in trying to solve the crisis in Honduras.”
The Head of the OAS emphasized that the Chilean support comes only days after the support received from the Permanent Council. “I believe this strengthens the idea that we are willing to go to Honduras with a very open mind and very ready to dialogue, but also that it is ultimately this Organization that decides who represents it and which form its missions take,” Mr. Insulza said.
