It was great to be back at Johns Hopkins University for the Science Diplomacy Summit 2026. AI safety as a global public good requires real cooperation, along with meaningful conversation. At the @OAS_Development, we’re working to make that happen across the Americas.

Today @SG_OEA_OAS signed a Cooperation Agreement with the government of Panama @senacyt to designate @indicasat as an @OAS_official Center of Excellence in Biotechnology. The signing enhances OAS’ role as a hemispheric cooperation hub and reinforces Panama’s leadership in S&T.

Albert R. Ramdin - OAS Secretary General
Today, we convened the first meeting of the Interdepartmental Working Group on the Private Sector. Advancing a renewed vision for the Americas requires strong public–private partnerships to foster hemispheric unity, peace, and shared prosperity. We will strengthen internal coordination, leverage synergies, and co-create initiatives with the private sector that respond to the region’s most pressing challenges. This work reflects our commitment to renewing the OAS so it is more agile, effective, and responsive to the needs of the Americas.
