Presidents Juan Manuel Santos and Evo Morales together with Hillary Clinton to conclude week of pre-Summit Forums with Social Actors
April 13, 2012
The Social Actors Forum of the Sixth Summit of the Americas in Cartagena Colombia will come to a close this Friday April 13 with a political dialogue between social actors and governments of the hemisphere and the attendance of two heads of state and ten foreign ministers from the region. Some 800 participants from 25 different nationalities took part in the forums.
The meeting, titled “Strengthening Alliances for Prosperity: a Dialogue between Governments and Social Actors,” which will be held between 10:00 local time (15:00 GMT) and 13:00 (18:00 GMT), will be attended by the Presidents of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos and of Bolivia, Evo Morales, as well as the Secretary of State of the United States, Hillary Clinton. The foreign ministers of Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay will also be present.
At the meeting, the social actors who participated in this week’s forums will present their recommendations and initiatives to the representatives of the governments of the hemisphere, to be included in the implementation of the mandates that emerge from the Sixth Summit of the Americas.
Since last September, the Organization of American States (OAS), together with the Colombian government, has made enormous efforts to create ties and consolidate the commitment between these sectors and the governments of the Americas. In total, the OAS and the Government of Colombia organized more than 70 forums ahead of the meeting in Cartagena, in which indigenous groups, young people, afro-descendants, the private sector, workers, women and other sectors of civil society made recommendations related to five central issues in the hemisphere: poverty and inequality, security, natural disasters, access to new information technology and physical integration.
That dialogue, which culminates with the Social Actors Forum, is part of a process brought about by the OAS, and reflects the high level commitment and collaboration that exists between social actors, the hemispheric organization and the governments of the region.
