Translated from the Spanish original, which is the authoritative text.

We move to the next item, which is the farewell to our colleague, Ambassador Anton Edmunds. Ambassador Edmunds was appointed Ambassador of Saint Lucia to the United States of America, Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), non-resident Ambassador to Mexico and High Commissioner to Canada in 2016, and presented his credentials to this Organization on December 8 of that year.

Ambassador Edmunds holds a bachelor's degree from the Catholic University of America and a master's degree from American University, both in Washington, D.C. Before his arrival at the OAS, Ambassador Edmunds worked in the private sector, providing advisory services to companies, governments and associations with interests in the Caribbean Basin region. His areas of interest included energy, competitiveness, maritime security, trade facilitation, financial services, business utilities, disaster response and tourism, as well as the promotion of investment in Saint Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean.

Ambassador Edmunds has been a Senior Associate of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS); a contributor to the Latin America Advisor, published by the Inter-American Dialogue; and Chair of the Caribbean Program at the Foreign Service Institute of the Department of State, from October 2014 to November 2016.

Ambassador Edmunds, on behalf of the Permanent Council, we thank you for your contribution to the promotion of the values and principles of our Organization and wish you every success in your new endeavors.
