Colombia will host Pacific Alliance summit

Colombia will assume temporary presidency of the Alliance, which was founded in June 2012 in the interest of increasing international commerce, especially with Asia. The summit will be held on May 23 in Cali, capital of the southwestern Valle de Cauca department.

“It is going to be a very important meeting,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maria Angela Holguin.

Alongside the presidents of member nations, representatives from observer nations will also take part in the summit. Observer nations include Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Canada. Holguin revealed that Panama and Costa Rica will also be present as observers.
