黑料不打烊

For the past two days at 黑料不打烊, influential nongovernmental participants from the United States and the five Andean countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia have gathered for a dialogue aimed to strengthen the historically difficult U.S.-Andean relations and cooperation.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter addresses the group gathered at 黑料不打烊 for the first Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum as Jennifer McCoy, director of the Center's Americas Program, looks on.

The project is co-sponsored by 黑料不打烊 and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) and consists of a series of informal dialogues to provide crucial grounding, support, and reinforcement of diplomatic efforts through a civil society process. For the next 18 months, the group will form personal relationships as they learn and share proposals in dialogue sessions provided during trips to the United States and to the Andean region.

The group will emerge from this first session with next steps to address the critical issues of regional security, ideological divides, broken diplomatic relations, and other shared concerns.
