Columbus Day Honoree: Ambassador Leandro Rizzuto! Recognized for his distinguished service in diplomacy and charitable work!

[OAS @OAS_official]

The OAS deeply mourns the passing of Jean Michel Arrighi, Secretary for Legal Affairs, an exceptional jurist and a true son of the Organization.

Jean Michel devoted his life to advancing international law and strengthening the Inter-American System. His intellect, integrity and commitment to the Americas leave an extraordinary legacy that will endure for generations.

The Organization has lost a distinguished colleague and one of the most cherished members of its family. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Thank you, Barranquilla! This Americas Competitiveness Exchange brought together leaders from across the Americas and demonstrated that innovation thrives through partnership. We are building partnerships to deliver results and drive economic growth for our region and U.S. businesses. Looking forward to the #ACXchange in The Bahamas! @OAS @riacnetorg @OAS_Development

Halfway through #ACXhange, and the message is clear: Barranquilla isn't just a city of rich culture and coastal charm — it's a model and hub for regional competitiveness. Through this week's site visits, #ACXhange participants are seeing firsthand how human capital, innovation, and strategic infrastructure drive shared prosperity across the Americas. @OAS @riacnetorg @OAS_Development

🚀 Since the dawn of humanity, one trait has defined us: the need to see beyond the horizon. From Columbus crossing uncharted oceans to America returning to the Moon and beyond to Mars — the mission remains the same. We explore because we must. 🌌 #SpaceExploration

Optimism has no passport. "Passport to Patriotism" showcases leading American artists exploring how creativity connects the Americas across cultures and generations. #PassportToPatriotism #Freedom250 #ArtistSpotlight #MeetTheArtists

Culture is diplomacy. The Art Museum of the Americas, "Passport to Patriotism" celebrates 250 years of shared history — and the ideas that still connect us across the hemisphere. #Freedom250 #PassportToPatriotism @OAS_official @AMAmuseum

Para la #OEA fue un honor que la celebración inaugural de “Pasaporte al patriotismo: 250 años de diplomacia” tuviera lugar en la Casa de las Américas, con la participación del embajador de Estados Unidos ante la OEA, Leandro Rizzuto, @USAmbOAS; el subjefe de Gabinete de la Casa Blanca, @Scavino47; la subsecretaria de Estado para Diplomacia Pública, Sarah Rogers, @UnderSecPD; la secretaria adjunta de Estado para Asuntos Educativos y Culturales, Cate Dillon; la directora de Arte en las Embajadas, Erin Scavino; el secretario general de la OEA, Albert R. Ramdin, @SG_OEA_OAS; y la secretaria general adjunta de la OEA, @SGA_OEA_OAS @lauraggils.

La exposición, ahora abierta al público en el @AMAmuseum, reúne a artistas, diplomáticos y socios para celebrar el poder del arte de fomentar el diálogo, fortalecer los vínculos culturales y acercar a los pueblos de nuestro hemisferio.

A medida que Estados Unidos se acerca al 250.º aniversario de su Declaración de Independencia, la exposición invita a reflexionar sobre los ideales democráticos, el patrimonio cultural y los lazos perdurables que unen a las Américas.

🚨 Today the @OEAOfficial OAS Permanent Council delivered a resounding, near-unanimous vote condemning the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship's assault on hemispheric peace and stability, with support from 29 members. Our region stands united. The Trump Administration stands firmly with the Nicaraguan people in their fight for freedom from tyranny.

1976 → 2026: The Art Museum of the Americas was born from the U.S. Bicentennial. Now, on its 50th anniversary, it's proud to present "Passport to Patriotism" — a fitting home for celebrating 250 years of American diplomacy. #Freedom250 #AMA50 @ArtInEmbassies @StateDept & @OAS_official at @MuseoAmericas
