The new Permanent Representative of Jamaica to the Organization of American States (OAS), Antony Anderson, today presented his credentials to OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin during a ceremony held at the Organization’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
In his remarks, Ambassador Anderson said “I look forward to working with you, Secretary General, on attaining our common developmental goals for a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Hemisphere. Jamaica greatly values the role of multilateralism in socio-economic development, multi-dimensional security, democracy, and human rights.” He also reaffirmed his country’s strong commitment “to upholding the OAS Charter and to actively engaging in efforts to foster sustainable development, promote democracy, protect human rights, and ensure the security of the citizens of our region.”
The Secretary General of the OAS, Albert Ramdin, recognized that “Jamaican diplomats and jurists have helped shape the Inter-American system, including its legal foundations and its inclusive vision for sustainable development. Jamaica has also played a vital role in amplifying the concerns of small island developing states, especially on issues of security, sustainable development, and climate resilience.” Addressing Ambassador Anderson, the OAS leader added, “Your leadership and experience will no doubt serve the Organization well especially as we collectively confront the complex and interconnected challenges of today’s world.”
Jamaica became a member of the Organization of American States in 1969, making it one of the first Caribbean nations to join the hemispheric body.
