I’m delighted to welcome @alfonsopratgay, @kelliemeimanh, and @pinzonbueno into new leadership roles on the @The_Dialogue Board.
Their expertise in economic policy, trade, diplomacy, and security will be invaluable as we advance our mission at a critical moment for the Americas.

[Alfonso Prat-Gay @alfonsopratgay]

Thank you to all my colleagues at the Board for such an honor.

I take on this new role both with gratitud and responsibility, fully aware of the increasingly challenging need to deliver a sound Dialogue across the Americas. For more than four decades @The_Dialogue has shows that our Hemisphere thinks better when we think together beyond physical, legal and ideological borders.

My committment is to secure the institution's independence and expand its impact and voice throughout our region. It will be a pleasure to do so alongside Kellie, Juan Carlos and Donna.

In a new interview with DW News, @manuelorozco65, program director of Migration, Remittances and Development at the Dialogue describes a counterintuitive finding: remittances and migration intent move in opposite directions.

Watch the full interview (in Spanish):

[DW Español @dw_espanol]

La paradoja migratoria: aumentan las remesas pese a las redadas y expulsiones

Mientras Washington endurece su política migratoria, las remesas siguen batiendo récords en el Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica. Guatemala lidera la recepción de estos recursos, que hoy sostienen a millones de hogares y se han convertido en uno de los motores más importantes de la economía regional.

“Betting that stability and Venezuelan oil basically can come first and democracy can wait indefinitely—it’s a dangerous bet.”

From my convo w/ @partlowj for his piece on #Venezuela in @TheAtlantic.

@DiploStory and @Digby06 are also cited—good company to keep.

Thank you, @SumiSomaskanda and @BBC, for having me on to discuss #Venezuela’s earthquakes. The priority is humanitarian assistance. But this is also a test for Delcy Rodríguez, U.S. disaster response after #USAID, and whether democracy slips even further down Washington’s agenda.

[The Inter-American Dialogue @The_Dialogue]

The Inter-American Dialogue stands with the people of #Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that have claimed hundreds of lives and affected hundreds of thousands of people.
