Bangladesh becomes permanent observer of OAS

Bangladesh has attained the status of Permanent Observer of the Organization of American States (OAS), the oldest multilateral regional organisation founded by the United States in 1948, reports BSS. “Through this new status, I anticipate a strengthened engagement and cooperation between our organisation and your country for the common benefit of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and the Americans,” said OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro in a letter to Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali. Earlier, Bangladesh applied for the status of Permanent Observer of the OAS with a view that it would add value to the Organisation based on its shared convictions in the areas of democracy, human rights, security and development, foreign ministry sources said here yesterday. Moreover, it will also strengthen ties and increase deeper engagements of Bangladesh with the Latin American and Caribbean countries. OAS came into being to address issues of mutual concern comprising only 20 Latin American countries at that time.
