“In addition, we are particularly pleased with the work we have been able to accomplish in the field of development, specifically in tourism and trade expansion, environmental issues and climate change, and the promotion of democracy,” he added. 

Ambassador Ferrol highlighted his country’s “long and productive relationship with the OAS,” and added that “we remain committed to the values, activities, programs geared towards advancing democracy, human rights, security and development.”
