OAS Secretary General Backs U.S. Agreements with Colombia and Panama in Letter to Secretary Clinton
March 17, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, sent a letter to United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in which he strongly backs Colombia and Panama in their efforts to perceive United States passage of trade agreements with these two countries.
In his letter, Secretary General Insulza says that the North American Free Trade Agreement (United States, Canada and Mexico) “opened a new era in hemispheric relations,” and that from this perspective the organization he represents has, systematically, “supported multilateral and bilateral agreements of this kind, all over the Americas.” The head of the OAS added that, “We are convinced that all countries involved in such agreements have largely benefited from the long-lasting, more secure and mutually advantageous relationship offered by these reciprocal trade agreements.”
In addition to assessing the economic upturn experienced by countries of the region that have signed such instruments between two or more nations, he noted that, “In the past decade U.S. exports to the countries with which the United States has trade agreements have grown almost twice as fast as U.S. worldwide exports.”
The trade agreements of the United States with Colombia and Panama, he continues, “would benefit all three countries. It would also benefit all the Americas and become another demonstration of real commitment with the region ahead of the Summit of the Americas next year in Colombia.”
In his letter to the head of U.S. diplomacy, Secretary General Insulza also referred to the Generalized System of Preferences and especially to the urgent need to extend the so-called ATPDEA (Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act), the expiration of which in February has been harmful to trade with Colombia and Ecuador and especially to small exporters in these two countries.
