DECLARATIONS

We applaud the commemoration of the bicentennial of the independence of Latin American countries and the work being undertaken jointly by those countries for their celebration, recognising that their independence has played a key part in shaping the contemporary world and that it will remain relevant in shaping the world of the future (Declaration of Port of Spain).

  1. We, the Heads of State and Government of the Americas, hereby approve the contents of this ‘Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain’ on this the 19th day of April, 2009 (Declaration of Port of Spain).
