What did the hemisphere's leaders discuss? On April 14-15, 2012 the 34 Heads of State and Government addressed the Sixth Summit central theme, “Connecting the Americas: Partners for Prosperity", which focuses on the role of physical integration and regional cooperation as a means to achieve greater levels of development and to overcome the Hemisphere’s challenges in several key areas including poverty and inequalities, citizen security, disasters and access to technologies. The Summit, which occurs every three years, offers the opportunity for countries to jointly define a hemispheric agenda at the highest level to address urgent challenges and propel positive change.
The negotiation process Colombia, host of the Sixth Summit of the Americas, chairs the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG).
