Statement from the Caribbean Community Council for Foreign and Community Relations, on the Candidature of H.E. Albert Ramdin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of the Republic of Suriname, for the post of Secretary-General of the Organization of American States (2025-2030)
At the Twentieth Special Meeting of the Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) reaffirmed its unwavering support for the candidature of H.E. Albert Ramdin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of the Republic of Suriname, for the post of Secretary-General of the Organization of American States for the period 2025-2030, at elections to be held in March 2025.
The Community recognises the Organization of American States as a vital institution for promoting peace, security, democracy, development, and human rights in the Americas. The Organization has played a crucial role in advancing regional cooperation, addressing common challenges, and fostering a shared vision for the Western Hemisphere.
Minister Ramdin’s distinguished regional and international leadership roles, coupled with his diplomatic acumen, demonstrated competence, and unwavering dedication to the OAS, where he served two terms as Assistant Secretary-General, renders him the ideal choice to guide the Organization towards a future characterized by strengthened collaboration and enhanced dialogue among Member States.
We are confident that his firm commitment to the principles and purposes of the OAS Charter and to working collectively, will build a more united and prosperous Hemisphere.
