February 17, 2010
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and a delegation of the government of Spain that currently fills the Presidency of the European Union (EU), held a work meeting on Tuesday at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C. The Spanish delegation was headed by the Secretary of State for Ibero-America, Juan Pablo de Laiglesia.
The meeting, also attended by Spain’s Permanent Observer to the OAS, Ambassador Javier Sancho, was later extended to the Permanent Observers of France and Italy to the OAS, Ambassadors Pierre-Henri Guignard and Giulio Maria Terzi di Sant'Agata, and the Interim Head of the EU Delegation to the United States, Angelos Pangratis, as well as members of the diplomatic delegations of Germany, Sweden and the Czech Republic.
The meetings featured an analysis of the current political situation in the continent, with particular attention to Haiti and Honduras. With respect to Haiti, the main subject was the work of supranational organizations and national governments to help the Caribbean nation in recovering from the January 12 earthquake, and more specifically what the most effective way to continue providing such aid would be.
With respect to Honduras, the parties involved analyzed the evolution of the process of democratic normalization in the Central American country.
