OAS CEO’S Meeting Recognized at Opening of El Salvador Summit
August 22, 2011
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, joined Heads of State and Government Officials from Central America and the Caribbean for the official opening of the Third SICA-CARICOM Summit of Leaders, held in El Salvador.
The meeting, designed to strengthen relations between the two sub-regions, was officially opened by the President of El Salvador, Mauricio Funes, and the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Denzil Douglas, the current chairs of SICA and CARICOM.
In addressing the opening ceremony, both President Funes and Prime Minister Douglas pointed to the need for meaningful partnerships and strategic alliances with like-minded countries, in the face of the current economic downturn. Both leaders referred to the meeting of top CEOs and business executives from CARICOM and SICA organized by OAS Assistant Secretary General Ramdin and the Chair Pro Tempore of SICA Hugo Martinez, describing the forum as a "major step in strengthening commercial ventures between the private sectors of both regions."
Government officials of both sub-regions have now called for future meetings of the group of executives from Central America and the Caribbean to discuss trade and investment opportunities.
Responding to the requests for the facilitation of more initiatives in the future, OAS Assistant Secretary General Ramdin said, "We will continue to do whatever is necessary to support Member States. The current economic climate requires us to come up with creative ways to foster dialogue in the interests of all our people. Countries of SICA and CARICOM represent a significant portion of the membership of the OAS."
According to Assistant Secretary General Ramdin, the SICA-CARICOM meeting of CEOs has already begun to produce results. "The discussions between CEO's and Trade Ministers from both sides were quite frank and open. We brought together a group of results-oriented people, and now with political commitment, there is hope for progress on certain issues," stated the high-ranking OAS official. "The bottom line here is creating jobs, improving the economic and investment climate and having a positive impact on the quality of life for some 56 million people in these two sub-regions."
