OAS Assistant Secretary General Meets with EU Officials in Brussels
February 29, 2012
Officials of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the European Union (EU) met in Brussels this week for the first policy dialogue between the two hemispheric institutions. OAS Assistant Secretary General Ambassador Albert Ramdin led the delegation of OAS officials who met with the European Union Secretary General of the External Action Service, Pierre Vimont, and the Head of the Americas Division, Christian Leffler.
The meetings, which were aimed at strengthening relations between the EU and the OAS, identified electoral observation and follow up, institutional strengthening and human rights, as areas for more focused collaboration.
A 2009 Memorandum of Understanding between the OAS and the EU stipulates that a second policy dialogue will focus on development as well as the challenges to security in the Americas.
According to OAS Assistant Secretary General Ramdin, “The OAS and the EU have a good working relationship and it is important for both organizations to engage in a meaningful manner on a regular basis."
Following the meetings, the OAS officials expressed satisfaction with the discussions in Brussels, with the Assistant Secretary General saying that the talks "provided a starting point to design a more structured approach and a comprehensive portfolio of projects in the areas of democracy, development and security."
During his visit, Assistant Secretary General Ramdin also met with the Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Belgium, Geert Muylle, on Belgium’s assistance in various OAS programs.
