(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana - Monday, 10 March 2025) - The Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR) has warmly congratulated His Excellency Albert Ramdin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of Suriname, on his historic election as the new Secretary-General of the Organization of American States (OAS).
Mr. Ramdin was elected for the term 2025-2030, during the Fifty-Sixth Special Session of the General Assembly of the OAS on 10 March. This landmark election marks the first time a representative from a CARICOM Member State has been elected as Secretary-General of the OAS.
COFCOR is of the view that Mr. Ramdin’s election reflects the confidence of Member States in his abilities. The Council expressed confidence that with a career distinguished by extensive experience in foreign policy and diplomacy, including a previous tenure as OAS Assistant Secretary-General, he is well-equipped to guide the organisation in addressing critical issues such as peace, security, socio-economic development, democracy, and good governance across the hemisphere.
“The Caribbean Community is confident that Minister Ramdin will serve in his new role with distinction, upholding the OAS Charter and demonstrating the necessary expertise to navigate regional challenges, thereby contributing to the shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous hemisphere,” COFCOR stated.
