The two leaders met in the context of the 3rd Summit between the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CLACS), taking place this Monday and Tuesday, with environmental and social issues on the agenda.

Díaz-Canel and Gonsalves agreed on the relevance of the meeting, in which participants will advocate for ties between equals and be guided by respect for sovereignty.
