Five Presidents Confirm
Attendance At WEF On Latin America
BOGOTA - Presidents of Barbados, Costa Rica,
Guatemala, Panama and Dominican Republic
have confirmed their attendance at the World
Economic Forum (WEF) on Latin America on
April 6-8 in Cartagena, Colombia.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and WEF
regional director Emilio Lozoya told a press
conference Saturday that presidents of
Mexico, Peru and Brazil were to confirm
their attendance.
"We wish all these presidents would join us
in this forum for Latin America in Cartagena
for it is a transcendent opportunity not
only for Colombia but for the region," Uribe
said.
It will be the first time for the forum to
be held in Colombia and the fifth time in
Latin America. The event will host about 600
participants, including business leaders of
big companies from around the world and 170
Colombian companies.
According to the WEF, the number of
participants registered to attend the forum
exceeded the previous ones held in Mexico in
2008 and Brazil in 2009.
