*Lunch with Representatives
of Regional Institutions- XXXVI OAS General Assembly
On
June 4, Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza convened the
first meeting of multilateral political and development
institutions supporting the inter-American agenda of the
OAS. Held immediately preceding the 36th General Assembly
of the OAS, the informal luncheon dialogue focused on the
challenge of translating the benefits from recent economic
growth, especially in the commodity exporting countries
of the region, into concrete policies and actions to reduce
poverty and inequality. This is important to respond to
demands by citizens who are increasingly participating in
democratic processes. Representatives of ten institutions
attended this meeting organized by the OAS Department of
External Relations to promote greater cooperation and thereby
better serve national needs in the OAS Member States. For
