2013 CELAC Summit in Santiago

The 2013 CELAC Summit in Santiago was a meeting of leaders from Latin American and Caribbean countries to discuss regional cooperation and development. CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) was created to promote integration, address common issues like economic growth, social equality, and sustainable development, without involving outside powers like the U.S. and Canada. The summit aimed to strengthen collaboration, share ideas, and plan joint efforts to improve the lives of people across the region. It marked a significant step toward regional unity and increased self-reliance among member countries.
