In assuming the chairmanship of the Organization of American States’ (OAS) Permanent Council today, Paraguay’s Permanent Representative, Ambassador Manuel María Cáceres Cardozo, underlined the importance of multilateralism, stressing how it has made the OAS a very dynamic organization.
During a brief ceremony at OAS headquarters, Ambassador Cáceres received the gavel from his predecessor, Panama’s Ambassador Arístides Royo, to serve in the rotating chair for the next three months. The Bahamas, meanwhile, became the new Vice Chair of the Permanent Council, the OAS’ second highest decision-making forum that brings together the 34 member states’ ambassadors.
Accepting the symbolic gavel, the new Council Chairman said it is a great honor for him and his country to assume the Permanent Council leadership. He underscored the significance of this leadership “at such an important juncture in history and in the life of our hemispheric Organization.”
Cáceres, who presented credentials at the OAS last December, pledged to work tirelessly to benefit everyone, seeking as well the support and cooperation of the member states and OAS Secretariat.
The outgoing Council Chairman noted the vast experience in multilateral diplomacy that Cáceres brings to his new position. Royo also thanked the member state representatives and the OAS Secretariat for the cooperation he received during his tenure over the past three months at the helm.
Member states representatives and the OAS’ Acting Secretary General, Liugi Einaudi ,were among those on hand to witness the installation of the new Permanent Council Chairman.
