Sir Ronald Sanders, Ambassador of Antigua & Barbuda to the Organization of American States (OAS), will be assuming the presidency of the OAS Permanent Council for an unprecedented third term.
Sir Ronald's third official term commences on Sunday.
His previous tenures as President in 2016 and 2021 saw him steering the Council's response to political crises in nations like Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
Foreign Minister Chet Greene welcomed the news on behalf of the Antigua & Barbuda Government.
He said Ambassador Sanders's record-setting leadership at the OAS amidst many challenges facing the nations of the Hemisphere clearly demonstrates that a country's size is no barrier to its ability to lead effectively, provided it is armed with knowledge and experience.
Mr Sanders said his third presidency's agenda will prominently feature critical issues like climate change; guns, gangs and violence; and access to concessional financing for development.
He also aims to improve the inter-American system and anticipates addressing the current crises in Haiti, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.
