The new Permanent Representative of Grenada to the Organization of American States (OAS), Tarlie Francis, presented his credentials today to Secretary General Luis Almagro, during a ceremony held at the hemispheric institution's headquarters in Washington, DC.

Secretary General Almagro highlighted the OAS' growing collaboration with Grenada and the rest of the CARICOM countries in all areas of the Organization. "We recognize the confidence that the Government of Grenada has placed in the OAS Charter, and its unwavering commitment to free and fair elections, and welcome 'good neighborliness' to promote regional integration," said the OAS Secretary General.

For his part, Ambassador Francis said that his country will promote an agenda in the OAS that includes the fight against climate change, resilience, economic growth, and respect for human rights. "Grenada values its membership in the OAS as a platform to foster regional cooperation, democratic governance and sustainable development," Ambassador Francis added.

Grenada has been a member state of the OAS since 1975.
