<\/a>The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation aims to contribute to the promotion and consolidation of existing ties between Extremadura, Europe, and Ibero-America. In line with this goal, the Foundation organised the course \u201cEuropean Union-Latin America and the Caribbean Relations: New Times and Renewed Commitments\u201d along with the EU-LAC Foundation in order to analyse \u201chow to strengthen relations between these two regions to promote multilateralism and combat the challenges that constantly threaten us, with the aim of strengthening our democracies and creating certainties\u201d. This was stated by Pablo Hurtado Pardo, director general of External Action of the Regional Government of Extremadura and member of Yuste Foundation\u2019s board of trustees, during the course\u2019s inauguration.<\/strong> (23\/07\/2024).<\/p>\nDuring his speech, the director general explained that the Monastery of San Jer\u00f3nimo de Yuste, and consequently Yuste Foundation, have become a centre for the defence of values and a space for the memory, study, and calm reflection on the relations between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean. He emphasised that \u201cthe only way to move forward and respond to our societies is to deepen the horizontal and symmetrical conversation between our regions because we share challenges and problems, but we must also share solutions\u201d.<\/p>\n
The European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean are united by history, culture, language, and affections. Therefore, according to the director general, \u201cwe must rethink our common strategy by becoming strong allies in this new geopolitical context\u201d. Similarly, the director of Yuste Foundation, Juan Carlos Moreno Pi\u00f1ero, urged those present to become links that facilitate the rapprochement between the two regions to \u201ccreate a new reality full of power and energy\u201d.<\/p>\n
In June 1999, the First Summit between Heads of State and Government of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the European Union was held with three pillars: high-level political dialogue, the establishment of advanced development cooperation, and the promotion of trade and investments. Currently, the pandemic, crises, and the rise of political and religious populisms highlight \u201cthe need for formulae to relaunch Euro-Latin American relations to support democracy and the reconstruction of the social contract\u201d, argued Jaime Rossell, professor of Ecclesiastical Law of the State at the University of Extremadura and co-director of the course.<\/p>\n
During his speech, Rossell also emphasised the need to analyse social and development policies in the current context of environmental crisis and digital transformation. To this end, he claimed that \u201cwe need to abandon the old logic of bipolarity and instead commit to effective multilateralism as a foreign policy strategy\u201d.<\/p>\n
In turn, Diego Dur\u00e1n, coordinator of Interinstitutional Relations at the EU-LAC Foundation, advocated for a \u201chorizontal and transversal collaborative approach between countries, organisations, and individuals\u201d to tackle current challenges such as the consequences of the pandemic, armed conflicts, and the environmental crisis. In this regard, he stated that this course is a way to visualise, exchange, and transfer knowledge in order to \u201cpropose alternatives to strengthen strategic ties that can also serve during this interim period between summits, leading up to the next meeting in Colombia at the end of 2025\u201d.<\/p>\n
Among the speakers are the former president of Mexico (2006-2012), Felipe Calder\u00f3n Hinojosa; the former minister of Foreign Affairs of Peru (2006-2011) and former ambassador to Spain (2016-2018), Jos\u00e9 Antonio Garc\u00eda Bela\u00fande; professor of Politics and Law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico and the Inter American University of Puerto Rico, H\u00e9ctor Luis Acevedo; the director of the Department of Philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, Antonio Ramos; the coordinator of Interinstitutional Relations at the EU-LAC Foundation, Diego Dur\u00e1n; and the representative in Europe of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) group, Pablo Chiesa. The course is supported by the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), Euroam\u00e9rica Foundation, the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), and the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
With this course, which brings together around one hundred in-person and online students from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Cuba, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Czech Republic, and the Dominican Republic over three days, the Campus Yuste training programme concludes. This programme is organised by Yuste Foundation as part of the 25th<\/sup> International Summer\/Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”on” prev_text=”VER NOTICIA ANTERIOR” next_text=”VER NOTICIA SIGUIENTE” admin_label=”\u2190 NAVEGACION POR NOTICIAS \u2192” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ custom_margin=”||3%|” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation aims to contribute to the promotion and consolidation of existing ties between Extremadura, Europe, and Ibero-America.
