OAS Secretary General Meets with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia
January 19, 2012
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met today with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergey Ryabkov, with whom he spoke about new and strengthened avenues of cooperation between the organization and the Eurasian country.
In the meeting, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, Deputy Minister Ryabkov commended the OAS’s role as mediator in resolving conflicts in the region, especially the efforts made after the coup d’état in Honduras in 2009, as well as in the crisis between Colombia and Ecuador in 2008. In this regard, he affirmed that such work "is proof of the organization’s importance and relevance."
The Russian Deputy Minister also mentioned the areas to which his country assigns greater priority in its relationship with the Western hemisphere, among which he mentioned the electoral processes, the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime. In this regard the Minister advocated for making cooperation more substantive between the organization and his country, specifically in the programs developed by the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) and the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD). He also encouraged the participation of the OAS in the meetings taking place in Europe and Asia in the field of the fight against drugs, and he extended his country’s offer to work with the OAS in the area of training and professionalism of police officers.
The Secretary General thanked the Russian government's interest in deepening its cooperation with the OAS, beyond the permanent observer role it has held since 1992, and expressed the Organization’s desire to participate in the international meetings mentioned. He also offered the opportunity to exchange best practices on issues of electoral observation with Russia in view of the upcoming March presidential elections.
Other matters on the agenda of the meeting included the nature, importance, and competence of the various regional and subregional organizations, and the expectations and efforts of the OAS in support of the reconstruction of Haiti.
