RICARDO LAGOS, THE FORMER CHILEAN PRESIDENT, TO KEYNOTE OAS LECTURE
ON LATIN AMERICA’S FUTURE CHALLENGES
July 13, 2007
Ricardo Lagos, the former President of Chile, will headline the 21st Organization of American States (OAS) conference in the Lecture Series of the Americas, speaking on “Latin America’s Future Challenges.” The program is scheduled for Thursday, July 19 at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C.
A lawyer who also holds a doctorate in economics, Lagos became President of Chile in March 2000, and served a six-year term. During the 1980s, Mr. Lagos played an important role in the process that led to the restoration of democracy to his country, as leader of the opposition Democratic Alliance (AD) coalition and the Committee for Free Elections (CIEL). He also founded—and served as the first president of—the Party for Democracy (PPD), still one of the country’s most influential political groups. During his distinguished career, Lagos also served as Minister of Education and Minister of Public Works.
The former President is currently head of the Democracy and Development Foundation, his brainchild. He is also president of the Madrid Club, a forum of former presidents and heads of government committed to the promotion of democracy.
A question-and-answer session follows the Lecture, which will be webcast live over the Internet (www.oas.org). The Lecture will be broadcast by radio and television, on dates and times to be announced.
Created by the OAS Permanent Council to promote principles and values in the countries of the hemisphere, the Lecture Series of the Americas invites internationally renowned speakers to address key issues such as democracy, human rights, social development, hemispheric security and the fight against poverty. The conferences are possible thanks to financial contributions from Peru’s San Martin de Porres University, the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of France.
