The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met today with the President of Spain, Mariano Rajoy, at the headquarters of the hemispheric institution in Washington DC, with whom he discussed the current global political situation as well as relations between Latin America and Europe.
Secretary General Insulza and the President Rajoy analyzed the political and economic situation in Latin America and the Caribbean, trade negotiations between North America and the United States, and the peace process in Colombia. The OAS leader and the head of the Spanish government also reviewed aspects of the progress made in regional integration alliances in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the economic challenges the region will face during 2014.
President Rajoy gave details to the Secretary General Insulza on the recovery in Spain, where the economy has returned to growth after a recession, and about reforms his government undertook to tackle the crisis. "Nobody talks about the euro crisis and bailouts in Europe any more," said the OAS Secretary General after the meeting.
The OAS Secretary General was accompanied by the Chair of the Permanent Council and Ambassador of the Dominican Republic to the OAS, Pedro Vergés; his Chief of Staff, Hugo de Zela; and the OAS Secretary for External Relations, Alfonso Quiñonez. President Rajoy attended the meeting with the Permanent Observer of Spain to the OAS, Jorge Hevia; the Chief of Staff of the President of Spain, Jorge Moragas; the Director of the Department of International Politics and Security, Ildefonso Castro López; the Presidential Adviser on International Affairs to the President, María Benasach; and the Director of the Department of Protocol of the President, Bernardo de Sicart Escoda.
Spain has been a Permanent Observer to the OAS since 1972, and is one of the leading and most active external donors to the hemispheric institution.
