The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today met with the Director of the Latin America Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Yuri P. Korchaguin, at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
The meeting focused on areas of current interest in the Americas, among them: relations between Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States; Haiti rebuilding efforts; the Honduras situation; OAS support for the peace process in Colombia; and the role of Permanent Observer countries in the Organization.
“Latin America has become a special area for our country, and it is part of our foreign policy. Today there is a new era of relations with the entire hemisphere, but especially with this part of the region,” said the representative of the Russian government in his meeting with the OAS leader.
Secretary General Insulza, for his part, expressed the Organization’s interest in building a closer relationship with Permanent Observer countries and recalled that no other international organization had permanent observers before the OAS.
“I have always advocated the idea that the OAS needs to open up much more to the world, and have a more active dialogue with other countries and regions with which we hadn’t communicated until today. We are practically the only real vehicle for conversation and forums that address issues on the regional agenda,” the Secretary General said.
