I am pleased to invite you to a panel discussion hosted by the EU-LAC Foundation and the Ministry of Economy and Innovation in Hamburg, on the 26th of August. 

The Free trade agreements of the European Union (EU) and Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries constitute a pivotal framework shaping political, economic, and social ties between both regions. Latin America, a vital supplier of agricultural and raw materials, and Hamburg, a significant hub for trade with LAC nations, share a long history of close foreign trade relations dating back 500 years. This enduring relationship, strengthened by collaborative efforts in industrial cooperation and strategic partnerships, continues to offer myriad opportunities for growth, especially in the context of digitalization and the need for diversified supply chains. Join us for this insightful discussion on enhancing EU-LAC trade relations and the latest developments concerning FTAs with Latin America.
