Suriname's foreign minister, Albert Ramdin
CARICOM diplomats at the Organisation of American States have strongly reaffirmed their unanimous endorsement of Suriname's foreign minister, Albert Ramdin, as the region's candidate for the position of OAS Secretary-General.
Mr Ramdin, a former deputy OAS secretary general, will face Ruben Ramirez Lezcano of Paraguay in the election scheduled for March 10 this year.
In a statement, the CARICOM Caucus of Ambassadors at the OAS said that as Suriname's Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business, and International Cooperation, Mr. Ramdin has faced the pressing challenges of governance, development, human rights, democracy, and security in the Western Hemisphere.
He has extensive experience in navigating the complex realities confronting hemispheric governments, including those in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The regional diplomats added that his deep understanding of these issues positions him uniquely to lead the OAS during this pivotal time.
