Secretary General underlines “significant progress” in Montreal Summit
January 26, 2010
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, underlined the progress achieved during the Haiti Ministerial Preparatory Conference held in Montreal, Canada, to set the rules of humanitarian assistance and reconstruction of the Caribbean country after the devastating earthquake of January 12.
“We made significant progress in coordination and unification of efforts, which until now have been the main problem of our cooperation with Haiti,” the OAS Secretary General said.
The Conference, chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, Lawrence Cannon, was attended by representatives of the United Nations, the OAS, the European Union, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and several national governments.
As a result of the meeting, an international entity or agency would be formed to assist development in Haiti, based on needs identified by the country’s government. “The idea is that it be chaired by President René Preval along with other representatives and international figures that reflect the scope of the assistance provided to Haiti,” Secretary General Insulza explained.
“Nobody can give an estimate of how long the reconstruction of Haiti will take, and that is why a long-term commitment is necessary,” he added.
The OAS, through the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF), hopes to provide Haiti with around 10 million dollars, though “with respect to direct assistance the resources offered by the OAS will be much more than that and will be provided for as long as it is necessary, since this emergency will go on for a long time,” the Secretary General concluded.
