Ambassador Mallias explained that this latest contribution is in keeping with his government’s strong support for the organization’s hemispheric agenda that underscores ideals and commitment to promoting cooperation shared by his government.
Thanking the Permanent Observer and his government for the contribution, the Secretary General noted the OAS is gratified by this important demonstration of confidence by permanent observer countries in the organization’s efforts to assist the development process in member states.
Also on hand for the occasion were Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin along with senior officials from the OAS Department of Public Security’s section on gangs and the Department of External Relations that manages the Lecture Series. Following the presentation ceremony, the Secretary General and the Greek diplomat exchanged views on a range of hemispheric and international issues of mutual interest.
