The Republic of Turkey and the Organization of American States (OAS) signed today a framework agreement, which will facilitate and regulate cooperation between that country and the OAS by sharing its technical know-how and experience through cooperation projects of mutual interest.
Ambassador Farouk Logoglu, Permanent Observer of Turkey to the OAS said that the agreement “marks in a very significant way the interests, the will and the desire of the people and of the government of Turkey to enhance its relations with this very important geography.”
Assistant Secretary General, Luigi Einaudi, who signed for the OAS said that the agreement “creates a legal framework that is mutually acceptable, that covers the various rules of the relationship and in effect puts it on a mutually acceptable basis,” therefore making it much easier to continue and “accelerate” cooperation.
The Agreement establishes a mechanism of general and special cooperation in the fields of environment, sustainable development, tourism, education, culture, science, technology, natural disasters, energy, social development, business development, industrial development, information technologies, physical planning, and other topics to be mutually agreed by the OAS and Turkey.
Turkey joined the OAS as a Permanent Observer on September 16, 1998. Since then, the Government of Turkey has contributed more than US$48,000 in cash to the OAS to support anti-terrorism activities, the promotion of science and technology, fellowships and training, tourism, young entrepreneurship, as well as Américas Magazine and the OAS Children’s Page.
