Next Tuesday, April 29 at 11 o’clock, Casa América presents organizes a conference entitled IV EU-CELAC Summit in Colombia. Challenges and promises.
This Summit, which will take place in Santa Marta (Colombia), on 9 and 10 November 2025, will be a continuation of the high-level political dialogue that was resumed during the III Summit held in 2023, and which left behind inter-regional relations paralysed on this scale for more than five years.
Just over two years later, the 2025 summit will take place after an intense electoral cycle in both Latin America and the EU, and after profound changes in the international order which raise questions about the implications for Euro-Latin American and Caribbean relations.
In order to feed the discussions leading up to this meeting between sixty representatives from both sides of the Atlantic, the Iberoamerica 2025 Report of Fundación Alternativas addresses, throughout its seven chapters, different angles (environment, security, investment, trade, cooperation, political dialogue) of a bi-regional relationship of a strategic nature that is to be re-launched.
Under the title Challenges and promises of Europe and Latin America: the Summit in Colombia, will speak María Emma Mejía, former minister, diplomat and journalist (on line), and Vicente Palacio, director of foreign policy of the Fundación Alternativas, to continue with a conversation: The Iberoamerica 2025 Report. The great test of the EU-CELAC partnership, starring Francisco J. Verdes-Montenegro, Professor of International Relations (UCM-ICEI) and coordinator of the Report; Lennys Rivera, WWF, and Bruno Theodoro Luciano, Free University of Brussels. The event will be closed by Javier Gassó, general manager for Ibero-America and the Caribbean.
