A one day Policy Summit on EU-Latin America relations

Tuesday 26 June 2012 – Académie Royale de Belgique, Brussels

WHAT, WHERE & WHEN

Join a few hundred key stakeholders from business, institutions, governments, academia and civil society of Europe and Latin America as well as the international press to discuss the EU-Latin America investment relations.

Discussing Latin America’s increasing economic presence on the world stage, the summit’s topics are set to include the role of European foreign direct investment in the region and how the enormous economic potential of Latin America’s trade can be best harnessed. Latin American countries’ natural resources are the envy of many and the investment successes of a comparative few. The key to developing these resources will clearly be investors’ ability and willingness to add value to raw materials thereby ensuring economic diversification.

Entitled ‘EU-Latin America relations: Turning investment into opportunities’ and taking place in Brussels on Tuesday, 26 June 2012, this second public-private dialogue event will input into the preparations of the official EU-Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) Summit in January 2013.
