In the midst of the preparations for the next Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government that will take place in the Dominican Republic on March 24 and 25, King Felipe IV held a meeting this Tuesday with the Ibero-American Secretary General, Andrés Allamand.

The objective of the hearing was to address some of the main axes that will be discussed at the next Ibero-American Summit, under the slogan “Together for a fairer and more sustainable Ibero-America”.

Alland has thanked the “unbreakable” commitment of the Crown to the Ibero-American Community during the last three decades and the attendance of Felipe VI at the Summit.

During the conclave, the Secretary General informed the monarch of the main advances in the preparation work on the four major issues to be addressed in the Dominican Republic, such as digital rights, the environment, food security and a new financial architecture, according to a statement from the Ibero-American General Secretariat.

They also spoke of the “unique” opportunity offered by this Summit to strengthen bi-regional relations between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean, an issue that Spain will prioritize on the occasion of the presidency of the Council of the European Union that it will hold during the second semester of the year

The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, met with Andrés Allamand, the head of the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB in Spanish) to discuss the various problems resulting from the war between Russia and Ukraine, particularly the food crisis.

The causes stress at the global economy due to the high prices of raw materials and energy products, in addition to deepening the food crisis in many vulnerable countries, especially those on the African continent.

As you may recall, Russia has blocked most exports from Ukraine, considered one of the main suppliers of grain in the world. Additionally, the shortage of fertilizers aggravates food production worldwide.

Another issue discussed at the meeting between Sánchez and Allamand was the ecological transition as a way to combat the effects of climate change, which “seriously” affects the countries of the region, according to the Executive.

On the other hand, the president has conveyed to Allamand the “constructive and unquestionable” support of Spain in his new stage at the head of the Ibero-American General Secretariat and the Government’s commitment to the next Ibero-American Summit.

Focus on digital rights

The meeting held in Moncloa also included the Spanish President’s proposal on the preparation of the Ibero-American charter of digital rights, agreeing that the issue would be worked on during the summit to be held in March 2023 in the Dominican Republic with the motto ‘Together towards a fair and sustainable Ibero-America’.

As will be remembered, President Sánchez proposed in 2021 to discuss within the Ibero-American world community the signing of a Charter of Digital Rights for the region. “Given what is happening in the digital world, according to Sánchez, and what affects rights and freedoms, it is necessary to consider that objective.”
