Foreign ministers and senior officials from Latin America and Asia were in the Dominican Republic for the 20th Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) of the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation (FEALAC) at the JW Marriott in Santo Domingo. The meeting was followed by the 9th Foreign Ministers Meeting (FMM).
FEALAC is an inter-regional multilateral forum. It was launched in 1999 to promote better understanding, political and economic dialogue and cooperation and achieve closer ties between the two regions. It is currently made up of 36 member countries, including 16 from Asia and 20 from Latin America.
FEALAC is an official platform for dialogue between the two regions. It mainly consists of regular meetings held at three levels: the Foreign Ministers (FMM), the Senior Officials (SOM) and the Working-level Officials (WG). The Coordination Meeting is also convened back to back with the Senior Officials’ Meeting and the Ministerial Meeting.
