The Eighth Summit of the Americas Hosted by Peru

GLENDALE, Calif., April 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the organizers, the Eighth Summit of the Americas will take place on April 13-14, 2018 in the Capital City of Lima, Perú.

These summits, which take place every three years, offer the opportunity to all attending mandataries to define together a hemispheric agenda of the highest level, where the most urgent challenges are engaged and a positive change is boosted. The heads of state of the continent will discuss the main theme of this Summit: "Democratic Governance Facing Corruption." The theme of the Summit was proposed precisely because High-Level Corruption has become endemic in Latin America. In Venezuela, President Maduro has been accused of rushing through a slew of contracts with Odebrecht, while in Colombia some lawmakers have been jailed because of an Odebrecht inquiry.

In the midst of this situation, there are positive auguries in Peru's Horizon: A solid economy which seems poised to continue its growth, and the respect for constitutionality in the fact that there has been a smooth transition of power, which offers a solid base for economic certainty. To this regard, Heather Nauert, the US Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs stated that the US will continue to boost the bilateral relation with Peru, based on the shared values of democracy, mutually beneficial trade, and the respect for human rights. The Summit of the Americas intends to continue strengthening the bonds which unite the area; and which may turn the continent into one of the most important markets in the world, by affording stability to the region, and furthering the development of growing markets. Peru once again opens its doors to the Continent and expects to host a successful Summit.

Alongside all of these events, Export Portal, as the world's current most innovative B2B platform, is greatly expanding within Latin America. The Export Portal team wishes this summit to bring fruitful results to the American continent.
