CELAC summit closes with pledge to strengthen partnership
Jan 28, 2013
SANTIAGO, Chile (AFP) — European and Latin American leaders wrapped up a two-day summit here yesterday, pledging to reinvigorate their "strategic partnership" for expanded free trade while shunning protectionism.
But the high-profile meeting attended by some 60 countries from both continents was overshadowed by a nightclub fire that killed at least 232 people in Brazil and forced President Dilma Rousseff to cut short her visit.
"It's a tragedy for all of us, and I cannot continue here at the summit, because my priority is the Brazilian people," Rousseff told reporters travelling with her in Santiago.
