The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of Ecuador today signed agreements under which Quito will soon host the VII Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Public Security in the Americas (MISPA) and the second on-site Police Training Course of the Inter-American Network for Police Development and Professionalization (REDPPOL).
The Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, stressed that the role of MISPA is reflected in the commitments made by the member states to strengthen comprehensive public security policies. “One of the pillars of MISPA is international cooperation, and in this regard I want to highlight the leadership that the Government of Ecuador is showing,” said Secretary General Almagro.
For his part, the Permanent Representative of Ecuador, Carlos Játiva, said that the signing of the two agreements is a sign of President Lenin Moreno's commitment to the Inter-American system. "The holding in Ecuador of these two events, of a total of nine in a single year, confirms our reintegration as a country with the work of the OAS in its four pillars," said the Ecuadoran diplomat.
MISPA VII, in which the OAS acts as a technical secretariat, will be held on October 30 and 31 in Quito. The REDPPOL course, a program coordinated by the OAS, will gather police officers from across the Americas in Quito from September 30 to October 30. The last edition of MISPA and the REDPPOL course was held in 2017 in Honduras.
