Presidential summit for the launching of the Union of South American nations, Unasur, will take place March 28/29

The presidential summit for the launching of the Union of South American nations, Unasur, will take place March 28/29 in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, said Colombian Foreign Affairs minister Fernando Araujo. “A meeting of presidents is scheduled for that date in Cartagena and we hope that the treaty will be approved which is an effort from the whole region in search of a more intense integration ... We’re drafting the Nations of the South Union treaty which we expect to have ready for the end of March” for approval by the twelve presidents added Araujo. The original summit was scheduled for January but was postponed at the last meeting of delegates which took place in Chile in November 2007.

  1. How quaint is it is to even see the name UNION of SOUTH AMERICA. Not the UNITED STATES of AMERICA that we usually see. This will surely be a blow for the U.S.A.

    In the past there was a UNION of SOUTH AFRICA, and the only thing that distinguished them was where the OF was placed. So it seems that the U. of S.A. will compete with the U.S. of A. in the future.

    It has been a long time in coming, but it is finally here. This will mean a new horizon for South America. Put your shoulders to the wheel of progress and make this UNION work, because it will mean a better tomorrow for future generations of South Americans.
