Summary/Abstract: The 7th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), held on 24 January in Buenos Aires, may help in restoring the importance of the initiative as the main mechanism for political dialogue in the region and with its extra-regional partners. The meeting’s final declarations included a broad set of goals, for example, on the issue of regional integration, but ideological divisions in CELAC may hamper these plans. A stronger CELAC is important for the EU because of the ongoing revival of bi-regional relations.
