Two multinational meetings to be held in Mérida, with the presence of 23 Presidents

Merida, April 28- According to information issued by Mexico Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two multinational meetings are to be held on the Yucatan capital, where 23 presidents and Foreign Ministers of several countries from South, Central America and the Caribbean will be present.

The “Association of Caribbean States” and the “Mexico-CARICOM Summit III” are scheduled for 28 and 29 of April in the city of Mérida, Yucatán.

23 Presidents, along with some Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers and other diplomats, will be attending these two Summits in the city of Mérida, which represents the largest international meeting of heads of state and probably the most important diplomatic and political meeting in the history of our city since the visit of US President George W. Bush in 2007.

Since Thursday April 24, 2014, officers of the Mexican Army and Presidential Guard are camping near the Polifunctional Municipal Gym (Gimnasio Polifuncional), that will be used as a Command Center during the Summit.

Salvador Alvarado Stadium and Sport Facility will remain closed for several days, because its field will be used as a landing strip for helicopters to transport the presidents, ministers and secretaries of the 25 countries attending the Summit, back and forth from the Hotels to the Siglo XXI Convention Center.
