The President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, visited the headquarters of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington DC, where he called on the international community to increase efforts to restore democracy in Venezuela.
President Piñera said that diplomatic pressure must be increased so that the Venezuelan people can recover their freedom and their democratic institutions. "I want to highlight the role played by the OAS and each of the democracy-loving countries to collaborate with those like the Venezuelan people who have lost democracy. It is a challenge that we have to assume with great conviction," said the Chilean President.
For his part, the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, highlighted the role of Chile as a defender of the principles and values of the hemispheric institution. "Chile, in practice and not only in theory, is an essential support for a multilateralism that deals with and exists to address the concerns of people to defend their human rights and to defend human dignity, "said Secretary General Almagro.
Meanwhile, the Chair of the Permanent Council and Ambassador of Costa Rica, Rita Hernández, highlighted the common values of Chile and the OAS. "Mr. President, we welcome you with admiration and appreciation in this Organization where our governments share the vision of strengthening democracy and promoting and protecting human rights and advancing integral development," said the Council Chair.
