OAS Secretary General Extends Condolences to Belize on the Passing of Senior Ambassador H.E. Alfredo Martinez
July 11, 2014
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, offered his condolences and that of the Organization of American States, to Belize on the passing of Senior Ambassador H.E. Alfredo Martínez, Ambassador of Belize to Guatemala and Belize’s Chief Negotiator on the Issue of the Territorial Differendum between Belize and Guatemala.
In a letter to the Prime Minister of Belize, The Honorable Dean Oliver Barrow, Secretary General Insulza expressed to the people and Government of Belize his “heartfelt condolences on the untimely passing of this great son of Belize." “Alfredo was no ordinary public servant,” said the OAS leader, who recalled the numerous public offices held by Amb. Martínez in the course of his long career during which he served as non-resident Ambassador to the Republics of Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. He served also as Belize’s Ambassador for Venezuela (1994-1997) and Cuba (1996-1997), he was Belize’s Ambassador to Mexico from 1993-1997, and from 1996-1997 he served as non-resident High Commissioner to Jamaica. He also served Belize in the Senate, as Minister of Trade and Industry, Mayor of Orange Walk Town and Belize’s Ambassador to Guatemala since 2003.
"For us at the OAS, it was Ambassador Martinez’s contribution as a lead negotiator in the Belize-Guatemala territorial differendum which brought him into regular contact with me and other colleagues at the Secretariat and for which we were most grateful," said the Secretary General, who highlighted that, in these efforts, the diplomat from Belize distinguished himself as “a true national who was deeply committed to a peaceful resolution of the territorial differendum between Belize and Guatemala.”
The OAS leader highlighted in his condolence letter to Prime Minister Barrow on the passing of Ambassador Martínez his hope that, “in memory of his commitment to peace and the security of friendly neighbors and the integration of the region, there would soon be a final resolution of the territorial differendum between Belize and Guatemala.”
