🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’sanswer to a media question about Russia’s stance with respect to the Organisation of American States ❓Question: How would you characterise the current stage of Russia’s relations with the OAS? 💬Maria Zakharova: As is well known, the Russian Federation obtained the status of Permanent Observer to the Organisation of American States in 1992 and has developed constructive relations with this association of Western Hemisphere states over three decades. Cooperation has been successfully advanced both with the #OAS itself and its specialised agencies, including the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD), the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE), and others. We note that a number of leading Latin American countries did not support the OAS Permanent Council’s April 2022 decision to suspend Russia’s observer status. At the same time, practical collaboration with regional states has continued to develop dynamically at all levels. The Russian Side remains open to restoring full-fledged engagement with the OAS, as evidenced by the appointment of Russia’s new Ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, to concurrently serve as Permanent Observer to the OAS.
