JOSÉ MIGUEL INSULZA, SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES WELCOMING REMARKS BY THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE OAS ON THE OCCASION OF AN ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES GEORGE W. BUSH
July 21, 2005 - Washington, DC
Mr. President, as Secretary General of the Organization of American States it is a privilege to have you with us once again here in the House of the Americas.
The Central American Free Trade Agreement is an historic accord which will eliminate tariffs and trade barriers and expand regional opportunities for the workers, manufacturers, consumers, farmers, ranchers and service providers.
But CAFTA is not only a trade agreement – it will be a fundamental tool for strengthening democracy and governability in the region, two key priorities of the OAS, by creating jobs and improving living standards. Ratifying CAFTA now is especially timely given the theme of the upcoming Summit of the Americas, “Creating Jobs to Fight Poverty and Strengthen Democratic Governance", which you and the other democratically elected Presidents and Prime Ministers of the hemisphere will attend later this year in Mar del Plata Argentina.
Ratification of CAFTA will also provide new momentum for negotiations for a hemisphere-wide trade agreement, which has the potential to transform the Continent for the benefit of all its citizens. As you stated six weeks ago in your address at our General Assembly in Fort Lauderdale, “a Hemisphere where all our people live in prosperity will be more peaceful. And a Hemisphere whose countries have reduced the barriers to trade among ourselves will be a more competitive region in a global economy.
I wish you and your colleagues from Central America and the Dominican Republic success for an early ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement.
