The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today met with a delegation from the Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the House of Commons of Canada, with whom he spoke about the challenges of the hemispheric organization and present political context in the region.
The Secretary General spoke with Canadian parliamentarians about the history of the organization, the transformations that took in the wake of the political changes that occurred in the last decades in the region and about the four pillars that guide its work: democracy, human rights, security and development. The OAS leader also expressed his gratitude for Canada's active role in the organization and said it is one of the countries that is most involved in electoral observation missions.
