Summits of the Americas
For over a decade the Heads of State and Government of the Western Hemisphere have gathered periodically to discuss common concerns, seek solutions and develop a shared vision for the future development of the region, be it economic, social or political in nature. This process known as the Summits of the Americas is vital for setting and achieving goals within the Hemisphere and is how the OAS receives most of its mandates. The Organization serves as the technical secretariat of the Summits process.
