The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, received today a delegation of indigenous representatives from Paraguay in his office at the venue for the XLIV General Assembly of the Organization, which is to be inaugurated on Tuesday in Asunción, Paraguay.
