Dear Madam Rice:
The Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB) has the honor
to warmly invite you to the Ibero-American Conference on
Migration that will take place in Madrid, Spain, on July 18th
and 19th, 2006.
This meeting has been organized by SEGIB, with the support of
the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC),through
its Latin America and the Caribbean Demographic Center
(CELADE),the International Organization for Migration (OIM)
and the Carolina Foundation from Spain, following a mandate
from the XV Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and
Government that took place in Salamanca, Spain, in October
2005.
Government officials, executive heads from international
organizations, recognized experts, and civil society
representatives will participate in this Meeting, as you will
read in the Concept Document attached to this letter.
The main purpose of this Meeting is to create, inside the
Ibero-American Community, a cooperation framework for the
treatment of international migration, among countries of
origin, transit and destination of migratory flows. There
will be an examination of the best practices in Migration and
Development, Human Rights and Migration and Good Governance
in Migration Policy in order to review and articulate these
best practices in the benefit of the countries of the
Ibero-American community and the migrants themselves.
I would really appreciate thereof that Your Excellency and
the Minister in charge of Migration Affairs would honour us
by representing your country in this Conference in order to
discuss such matters at high political and technical level.
You will be receiving very soon additional information on the
working agenda and other organizational matters.
Hoping that you will kindly agree to participate in this
event, please accept the assurances of my highest
consideration and esteem.
Sincerely yours,
Enrique V. Iglesias
Ibero-American Secretary General
