COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS CONTRIBUTES
TO A VARIETY OF OAS PROGRAMS
July 18, 2006
The government of The Bahamas today presented monetary contributions towards a variety of Organization of American States (OAS) programs to promote democracy and peace and combat illicit drugs and firearms trafficking, as well as corruption and terrorism, in the nations of the Americas.
This Bahamian contribution “is really a reaffirmation of the support for the work of the Organization of American States,” Ambassador Sears declared on delivering the checks at OAS headquarters. He restated his country’s commitment to continue working along with the other member states on projects that enhance the quality of life for the people of the Americas.
Noting the valuable work being undertaken by CICTE, Sears made reference to its assistance with efforts related to World Cup Cricket in the Caribbean next year. He noted too that the OAS Colombia project is well worth the effort in terms of its long-term value to peace and reconciliation in that country.
In thanking the government and people of The Bahamas, Assistant Secretary General Ramdin cited today’s donation as a clear example of how small countries can be big in terms of their capacity to assist. Ramdin said the OAS is gratified by the commitment to the process in Haiti and for all the beneficiary programs, which he described as “key areas for the OAS” as he noted how these programs are precisely ones that can help an organization establish a record.
Besides OAS Permanent Council Chairman Ambassador Henry Illes of Suriname, others on hand for the ceremony included heads of departments designated to benefit from the Bahamian gift.
