OAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL CALLS ON NEW GRADUATES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Albert Ramdin, issued Saturday a call to graduates at the University of Belize’ Ninth Commencement Exercise on Saturday in Belmopan. He urged more than 500 students to consider how they could best influence their future and the future of their country as they entered a new stage in their lives.
At the ceremony, Mr. Ramdin encouraged the graduates to make a difference and to be active citizens of the world. However, he cautioned that this ability comes with a responsibility to “choose wisely and purposefully so that your contribution can make a difference.”
Mr. Ramdin also emphasized the growing importance of youth in the Organization of American States, “I’m pleased to announce here today that we now have for the first time a youth agenda which reflects the importance of incorporating youth into the development strategy of the Americas.”
In congratulating the class of 2009, he encouraged them to always give back to their country. “As graduates of this prestigious national institution of higher learning, you have a duty to give back to this community and to this country.”
He concluded his remarks by imploring the new generation of young professionals to “not allow anyone or any social or economic reality to deter you from realizing your true potential and dreams. Where challenges abound and obstacles can be hard to overcome, determination and a strong moral compass are the two most important forces to propel you to success,” he told them.
Also present at the ceremony was the Honorable Patrick Faber, Minister of Education. Assistant Secretary General Ramdin was invited to deliver the commencement address by the President of the University of Belize, Santos Mahung.Friday, June 19, 2009

BEIJING, June 18 (Xinhua) -- China's top legislator Wu Bangguo met with visiting Grenadian Prime Minister Tillman Thomas here Thursday, pledging closer cooperation with the Caribbean nation amid the global downturn.
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, applauded the growth of China-Grenada ties since their resumption of diplomatic ties in 2005.
He cited frequent high-level exchanges, expanded cooperation in political, economic, cultural and educational areas, and enhanced coordination in international and regional affairs.
The friendship had yielded concrete benefits to both peoples and met the fundamental and long-term interests of both sides, Wu added.
Leaders of the two countries attached great importance to bilateral ties. Meanwhile, both sides had held to agreements reached before the restoration of diplomatic ties and actively promoted cooperation in diversified areas, Wu said.
China was ready to boost parliamentary exchanges with Grenada, Wu added.
Thomas expressed appreciation for China's support for Grenada's development and reiterated adherence to the one-China policy.
He said the current economic situation had an impact on most countries, including Grenada, and he hoped to beef up trade and economic cooperation with China through his current tour.
Grenada would participate in the 2010 Shanghai Expo, he added.
Thomas came to China for an official visit, scheduled for 15 to 21, at the invitation of Premier Wen Jiabao.
China and Grenada established diplomatic relations in 1985 and severed ties in 1989 over the Taiwan issue. Relations resumed in 2005.
Grenada's FM hails ties with China, vows to boost cooperation
BEIJING, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Grenada will expand cooperation with China and strive to attract Chinese tourists and investors, Grenada's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Peter David, said here Thursday.
"China has always been a strong ally and faithful friend," David told Xinhua on the sidelines of Prime Minister Tillman Thomas' first official visit to Beijing since taking office last year.
Even under the pressure of the global downturn, China maintained its strong support for the Caribbean state, David said.
"We are pleased with the talks so far," he said. "It's good to strengthen ties between China and Caribbean countries.
"China has been a very solid ally in our economic development. China has respected our internal affairs," he said.
Diplomatic relations were resumed in 2005 when Grenada cut its 16-year official ties with Taiwan.
David said he was hoping to facilitate easier air travel between China and the Caribbean in order to attract more Chinese tourists with shorter travel times and fewer stopovers.
He also welcomed Chinese investors in the tourism sector, a pillar industry of the island state, such as hotels and restaurants, as well as the agricultural and manufacturing sectors.
