The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met today with the diplomatic representatives of the Permanent Observer countries of the Organization to inform them about the Sixth Summit of the Americas, to be held April 14 and 15 in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, and the 42nd General Assembly of the Organization, to be held June 3 to 5 in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Secretary General Insulza talked about the value of the hemispheric summits by stating that “many of the important things that have been done at this level in the last 10 years were thanks to the Summits of the Americas.” In that sense he mentioned the Inter-American Democratic Charter, bilateral and multilateral free-trade agreements, and the Inter-American Social Protection Network, among others.
The Secretary General explained that at the 2012 Summit, issues will be addressed to foment collaboration between countries, such as infrastructure at the continental level; access to technology; natural disasters; poverty and inequality; and public security. At the General Assembly, he recalled that the principal theme will be food security, and he urged observers who wish to participate to do so.
The OAS currently has 68 Permanent Observer countries that participate in the activities of the Organization and contribute to its programs.
