EU-CELAC Summit: towards a closer, stronger and renewed partnership between both regions
On 17 and 18 July, the European Union and the Community of Latin American and the Caribbean states (CELAC) held their 3rd Summit in Brussels. The meeting gathered Heads of State and Government of the EU Member States and of the 33 CELAC states for the first time in eight years.
[]President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said: “This EU-CELAC Summit felt like a new beginning between old friends. These are times of great geopolitical change and like-minded friends like the EU and Latin American and Caribbean partners need to get closer. This is what we are doing with our new Global Gateway Investment Agenda, under which we will invest more than €45 billion in the region. We want to bring benefits to local communities, and create value chains locally, in the region. This is the spirit of our partnership.”
In the framework of the Summit, President von der Leyen [presented the EU-LAC Global Gateway Investment Agenda (GGIA)](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_3863), which includes more than 135 projects to make the fair green and digital transition a reality on both sides of the Atlantic.
The President also announced that Team Europe committed over €45 billion to support the reinforced partnership with Latin America and the Caribbean until 2027. The Summit further strengthened the partnership between the EU and the CELAC countries on shared priorities, such as the digital and green transitions, the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss, health, food security, migration, security and governance or the fight against transnational crime.
