Principality of Monaco Becomes 65th OAS Permanent Observer
September 15, 2010
The Principality of Monaco became the 65th Permanent Observer of the Organization of American States (OAS) today, when the Permanent Council approved its application during a meeting held at Organization headquarters in Washington, DC.
The Ambassador of Monaco to the United States and Canada, Gilles Noghes, expressed his gratitude in the name of the Government of Prince Albert II for the approval of the European country as a Permanent Observer, a status that was requested to the OAS through letter sent July 7, 2010.
The Principality “has for a long time expressed its desire to participate actively in international forums, as a way of expressing its conviction that global problems faced by all States, independently of their size, can only be solved in the multilateral framework,” the diplomat said.
Ambassador Noghes also stressed that “upon becoming a Permanent Observer, we have the opportunity to strengthen relationships with each and every country in the Americas.”
The Principality of Monaco is a city-state located on the brink of the Mediterranean Sea, south of France, and in addition to its Embassy in the United States and Canada, the country has diplomatic representation in 14 Member States of the Organization through Honorary Consuls.
The status of OAS Permanent Observer was established during the General Assembly held in San José, Costa Rica, in 1971. Permanent Observers participate in all of the Organization’s activities and contribute to its programs.
A photo gallery of the event will be available here soon.
