According to APMR's Secretary-General, Hernando Osorio Rico (former President of the World Conference of Regular Grand Lodges) granted an interview to the Masonic Press Agency of Romania this week.

The Colombian Freemason led the Grand Lodge of Colombia at Cartagena de Indias as Grand Master and he was elected Executive President of the World Conference in Gabon. In 2011 he presided the 10th edition of the World Conference and now he is appointed by his own Grand Lodge to run for Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Masonic Confederation. He is competing with Eduardo Retiz Licona, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico.

Exclusively for APMR, Osorio Rico stated that "Since I was young I wanted to be a Freemason (...) I said that's what I want to be."

Regarding the agreement signed by the IMC with the OAS (Organization of American States) he added that "I think that the IMC-OSA agreement was not used to its full capacity. There are programs at Latin American level that could be conducted by IMC under this Agreement."
