HEMISPHERIC MEETING OF OFFICIALS OF COOPERATION TO TAKE PLACE THIS OCTOBER IN COLOMBIA
September 2, 2009
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Permanent Representative of Colombia before the OAS, Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos Aristizábal, today signed the Agreement for the Specialized Meeting of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) of High-Level Officials of Cooperation, which is to take place in Bogota, Colombia, on October 26 and 27, 2009.
In this Specialized Meeting of the CIDI, a dialogue begun by High-Level Officials of Cooperation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in October 2008, will continue. Among others, the goals of this Specialized Meeting of the CIDI are to seek to demonstrate the potential of cooperation in the framework of the OAS, institutionalize a space of high-level dialogue among officials of cooperation of the Member States, and seek the commitment of officials of cooperation and other international actors to make use of the OAS as an effective means to maximize their interests.
“In truth the subject of international cooperation is one that is very close to me,” Secretary Insulza said during a ceremony of the signing of the agreement, which was carried out in the OAS headquarters, “because until a few months before the end of democracy in Chile I was in charge of international cooperation for the government of Chile and, upon my return to the government 17 years later, I again was in charge of international cooperation.
“I sincerely believe that among countries with medium levels of development, as are many of ours, it is a basic tool of international relations,” he said, referring to international cooperation and the help that developed countries can offer others in the hemisphere. “I am convinced of the value of international cooperation in itself and also I am convinced of the value of international cooperation as a tool of international relations, a practice of doing things together and not just meeting every once in a while to talk about them.”
For his part, Ambassador Hoyos Aristizábal emphasized that the Government of Colombia hopes the Specialized Meeting will be “the beginning of inter-ministerial high-level meetings on cooperation and truly that we turn this into real action to strengthen cooperation in the heart of the OAS.”
