Secretary General of the OAS Meets with the Secretary General of SICA
September 21, 2012
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, met today at OAS headquarters with the Secretary General of the Central American Integration System (SICA), Juan Daniel Alemán, to review the democratic security agenda in which the two organizations share many common points.
During the meeting, Secretary Alemán discussed the progress made on the 22 projects of the Central American security strategy, focusing primarily on eight projects identified by the Central American Security Commission. The two also discussed the fight against crime, efforts to prevent violence, institutional strengthening and issues of rehabilitation and social reintegration. Alemán also referred to one of the most important achievements of the SICA, the upcoming launch of the SICA Observatory and Democratic Security Index (OBSICA), which aims to track indicators of democratic security and the problems of violence in Central America.
On his meeting with the Secretary General Insulza, Alemán said it revolved around the need to "create more synergy and exchange experiences and best practices with the OAS," noting that Insulza offered the full support of the organization and invited them to participate at the meeting of the Strategy Monitoring Committee, which "enriches and strengthens its presence in the body."
On the other hand, the SICA Democratic Security Director, Erick Vílchez, said that they also discussed the Border Security Project and the Project for the Control of Small Arms in Central America, as well as the importance of coordinating efforts on the issue of gangs. "We can say that this opens a new area of cooperation between the two secretariats - OAS and SICA – in search of greater peace, security and stability in the countries of Central America," said Vílchez.
The leaders also discussed deepening the cooperation between the programs of the OAS and the Central American Security Strategy so that they complement each other and to make the SICA-OAS relationship a concrete reality with greater potential.
