The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today presided over a meeting of the Member States of the OAS with the Permanent Observers accredited to the organization and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of El Salvador, Hugo Martínez, in the framework of the 41st General Assembly being held in El Salvador. At the meeting, opinions and information were exchanged on the subject of the summit meeting of the OAS--Citizen Security in the Americas--and emphasis was placed on the importance of cooperation by the observer countries in the priorities being developed by the hemispheric organization. Secretary General Insulza expressed his gratefulness to the observer countries for the contributions they make in strengthening institutions in the region "to make this a place with greater justice, greater security, and greater democracy."
