This edition 2023 will also focus on political, educational and economic meetings to think the relationship between Latin America, the Caribbean area and France, value current partnership agreements and develop synergies to face the current challenges.

So the International Economic Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean, organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Inter-American Development Bank, and the French Agency for Development (AFD) will gather high level Latin-American and French participants.

The Americas Institute will display a broad range of specialists focusing on the subject of raw materials in its annual international symposium organised with the support of the AFD and the EU-LAC Foundation.

In 2011, the “Day of Latin America and the Caribbean” was launched by the French Senate to celebrate and improve the bonds between the countries of this region and France.

In 2014, the “Day” became a “Week”, or rather “Weeks” organised and driven by the ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.

And over the years, the Week has become in turn scholarly, popular or festive, but always a must, in Paris and throughout France. They became a high-time of shared meetings and thinking between Latin America, the Caribbean and France.
