The city of Santa Marta, Colombia, became the epicenter of social and political dialogue in the region this weekend with the Third Social Summit of the Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean that concluded today with grassroots representatives from all over the continent.

The event, which brought together more than 1,500 local delegates and featured more than 200 international delegates, opened nine thematic tables dedicated to political dialogue, adhering to the common agenda of the peoples, with a central focus on sovereignty and on condemnation of the interventionist stance of the United States in the region.

The summit, which began Saturday, had the fundamental purpose of fostering discussion among civil society to address common challenges affecting nations, with special attention to critical issues such as migration and the need for deeper integration.
