While expressing appreciation for its role in defending democracy here, Guyana on Tuesday called on the Organisation of American States (OAS) to do its “utmost” to address the myriad problems facing small developing countries and it also stressed the importance of consensus building.
Addressing the 50th Regular Session of the OAS General Assembly virtually, Guyana’s Foreign Minister Hugh Todd pointed out that the office of the hemispheric body is strategically positioned in Washington, DC right next to the world’s leading financial institutions including the Inter-American Development Bank.
“…we therefore urge the OAS not just to carry on with its relatively small development programmes and valuable scholarship opportunities, but also to do its utmost to address the problem that we face as small developing countries”.
