FOREIGN and Caricom Affairs Minister Dr Amery Browne has described the election of Suriname's Foreign Affairs Minister Albert Ramdin as secretary general of the Organisation of American States (OAS) as, "an historic moment for all of Caricom."

The Caricom Secretariat in Guyana issued a release on Monday saying its Council for Foreign and Community Relations (Cofcor) congratulated Ramdin on his historic election as the new secretary general.

The release said Ramdin was elected for the 2025-2030 term, during the 56th Special Session of the General Assembly of the OAS on 10 March, which was attended by Browne as Trinidad and Tobago's representative.
