Ambassador María del Luján Flores, Permanent Representative of Uruguay to the Organization of American States (OAS), today assumed the chairmanship of the Permanent Council with a commitment to “redouble the Organization’s efforts to fulfill the mandates it has been given.”
The Uruguayan diplomat received the gavel from Ambassador Marina Valere of Trinidad and Tobago, during a brief ceremony at OAS headquarters. Secretary General José Miguel Insulza and Assistant Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin, as well as delegates of member states, were among those who attended. Ambassador Lisa Shoman of Belize is the new Vice Chair of the Permanent Council.
During the ceremony, Ambassador Flores underscored the importance of the OAS, noting that the hemispheric body is more than the sum of its member states. “The OAS is the combination of the efforts of all the states that have come to promote democracy and human rights,” she said, adding that “this endeavor should continue to be the Organization’s objective.”
Flores indicated that one of her key tasks in the next three months will have to do with laying the groundwork for the next OAS General Assembly, which will bring together the region’s foreign ministers in June of this year in Panama. “It will be very interesting to review the agenda, highlight the priority issues and see that those issues take shape as concrete results,” said Ambassador Flores, who will address the Permanent Council for the first time as its Chair next Tuesday, January 9.
