The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met with the Vatican Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, in the context of his official visit to Italy and the Holy See.
Secretary General Insulza and State Secretary Bertone agreed on the importance of the Holy See’s participation, as Permanent Observer to the OAS, status that the Vatican has held since 1978. The OAS Secretary General highlighted the participation of the Catholic Envoy at the recent General Assembly of the hemispheric organization, which took place in Guatemala last June, and recalled his address to the Plenary attended by foreign ministers and heads of delegation of the member states.
Secretary General Insulza presented the Vatican’s representative with the “Report on the Drug Problem in the Americas,” which the OAS prepared under his supervision in compliance with a mandate received from the 2012 Summit of the Americas. Both leaders talked about the debate that the Hemisphere has undertaken upon the report’s publication.
In addition, both leaders discussed human rights issues in Latin America, as well as the situation in Syria.
