The Government of the People’s Republic of China today presented two important contributions to programs of the Organization of American States (OAS) to support the work of the Press Department and the activities of the OAS in combating commercial sexual exploitation, and smuggling and trafficking in minors.
Communications equipment donated by China consisted of an in-kind donation of computer systems, televisions and monitors, and was accompanied by a cash contribution to purchase Fiber Optic cables for the OAS Main Building. The Chinese diplomatic delegation also made an important donation to support the Inter-American Children’s Institute’s (IIN) “Inter-American Programme for the Prevention and Eradication of Commercial Sexual Exploitation, and Smuggling of and Trafficking in Minors.” The total amount of the contributions was approximately $45,000, which is in addition to the $200,000 already disbursed this year by the Government of China through the China – OAS Cooperation Fund.
The Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, said he was “very thankful and honored by the generous support” from the Government of China that will “undoubtedly enhance the Organization’s capacity to more efficiently deliver information on our work to the public-at-large” and “advance the work of the IIN in coordinating regional policies to prevent and eliminate crimes against children.”
“You have been an important contributor to programs of peace and stability in the hemisphere,” the head of the OAS added. “The support we are receiving today yet again reinforces our shared commitment and conviction that your country appreciates the work we are doing and we are thankful for that.”
The Permanent Observer of the People’s Republic of China to the OAS, Ambassador Zhang Yesui, said the Government of China and the OAS continue “to work closely to explore ways to further expand exchanges in cooperation.”
“Today’s ceremony is a testament to our joint efforts,” said the Ambassador, who also reaffirmed “the commitment of the Chinese government to expand its friendship and cooperation with the OAS, an organization we see as the most important political institution in the Western Hemisphere.”
The ceremony was held in the Office of the Secretary General at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
