The Permanent Representative of Paraguay to the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Bernardino Hugo Saguier, today was elected by acclamation as Chairman of the Special Committee on Migration Issues for the period from September 2010 to May 2011.

During his acceptance speech, the diplomat asserted that “migration in the Americas is a key subject that deeply concerns many of the countries that make up the OAS.” He also stated that, “Within the scope of this committee we can collaborate in positive ways and see how the OAS can assist us, accompany us and support us so that this will be another source of unity among our countries.”

Costa Rica’s representative to the Organization will fill the vice-chairmanship of the special OAS Permanent Council committee for the same period.
