Representatives from the 12 founding members of the Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity (Americas Partnership) gathered in Panama April 11, 2024, to review progress in advancing the commitments made by leaders at the inaugural Americas Partnership Leaders’ Summit on November 3, 2023.

Americas Partnership Foreign Affairs Council officials also prepared to report on our shared prosperity agenda to their ministers in the coming months.
