dc.description.tableofcontents | Over these two decades, the Annual CAF Conference has been one of the settings for the unfolding
of this story. Presidents, ministers, former heads of state, senior officials of international
organizations, business leaders, prominent political analysts, journalists, and academics have
recounted their experiences, exchanged points of view, and shared the lessons learned during this
journey.
Conceived to foster ideas for sustainable development with social inclusion in the region, deepen its
integration, and promote its relations with the rest of the world, these gatherings have provided a
forum for open and pluralistic debate for 20 years. Year after year, the conference has been
expanded, refined and it has consolidated its position in the international sphere. New discussion
topics have been introduced at the gathering, which has grown in terms of the number of
participants and the extent of its influence.
The Annual CAF Conference is recognized today as the most important forum for debate on our
region in Washington, a platform for reflection that has brought global visibility to Latin America, its
people, and their ideas. | es_ES |
