Description
The event represents an important step in the 2023/2025 EU-CELAC roadmap agreed during the last July’s 2023 III EU-CELAC Summit, where Heads of State from both sides of the Atlantic committed to renewing the bi-regional long-standing partnership founded on shared values, interests and strong economic, social and cultural ties.
The new Global Gateway Investment Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean emerged as a central element for enhanced collaboration, including its human development dimension.
The expected outcomes of this EU-LAC High Level event will be:
- An EU-LAC high-level exchange focusing on health enabling frameworks and equitable access to health products
- An EU-LAC high-level dialogue on social policies
- The launch of the regional Team Europe Initiative “Inclusive and Equitable Societies in LAC” and the presentation of new actions of the Team Europe within the framework of the EU-LAC Partnership on Health Resilience and Equitable Access to Health Products
