Uruguay’s Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), Edison Lanza, today assumed the Chair of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) of the Organization, a position that he will hold until July 31, 2026.
During a ceremony that took place at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC., Ambassador Lanza said, “Uruguay assumes the Chair of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development with responsibility and full awareness of the importance this Council has in the history of the Americas. This forum has already completed 30 years and has become the OAS’s main commitment to the integral development of our peoples.”
For his part, the outgoing Chair and Permanent Representative of Suriname, Jan Marten Schalkwijk, said “CIDI is about development, and for me, as a professor of social change and development, development has a very simple definition: it is realized in one's potential. That's what development is. That goes for an individual, an organization, or a nation.”
The Vice Chair for the first half of the year will be held by the Permanent Representative of Belize, Nestor Mendez. The CIDI chair rotates every six months in accordance with the alphabetical order in Spanish.
