Colombia Assumes Presidency Pro Tempore of the Inter-American Competitiveness Network for 2012
October 5, 2011
The Government of Colombia today assumed the Presidency pro tempore of the Inter-American Competitiveness Network (RIAC) for the year 2012, with the commitment to raise the profile of an annual event that can help improve the capabilities of countries of the region to remain competitive and economically active.
At the Annual Meeting of the RIAC, held today in Santo Domingo, the Presidential Advisor for Public and Private Management of Colombia, Catalina Crane Arango, said her country's government hopes that the Sixth Americas Competitiveness Forum (ACF), which provides the framework for the RIAC meeting, will be "very important, and that we will begin to position this annual gathering as an increasingly relevant event, one that truly contributes to this task to which all of us are committed from our different spheres." The Annual Meeting of the RIAC 2012 will be held in the city of Cali, which also will host the ACF.
The Government of Panama will assume the Presidency pro tempore of the RIAC for the year 2013. The National Secretary of Science, Technology and Innovation of Panama, Rubén Berrocal, today formally invited the member countries of the regional mechanism to the VII ACF, to be held in Panama City in 2013. Secretary Berrocal recalled in his speech some of his country's achievements in recent years that have been "important steps towards making Panama a logistic hub of the region," and among which he highlighted the work of expanding the Panama Canal.
For his part, Michael Camuñez, Undersecretary of Commerce for Market Access of the United Status, the host country of the ACF in 2010, said his country's Government is "very proud that this is an institution that is now housed at the Organization of American States, and that we have really institutionalized this forum as a preeminent institution for the discussion of competitiveness issues and issues that affect the growth of our economies and the wellbeing of our people."
The RIAC Presidency corresponds to the country that hosts its annual meeting. The two Vice Presidencies are assumed by the previous year's host country and by the country that will host the event the following year. The network was launched in 2009 in Santiago de Chile in the framework of the Third ACF.
