Two years after the last CELAC-EU Summit, leaders met in Santa Marta in 2025 and delivered a significant outcome: the launch of a Bi-regional Pact on Care. Endorsed by all EU member states and 16 Latin American and Caribbean countries, the non-binding declaration advances care as a political priority to address structural gender inequalities. The Pact reflects sustained civil society engagement and builds on regional and global frameworks to deepen bi-regional cooperation on care.
