Latin America Day on November 6-7 – collaboration on sustainability, climate protection and renewable energy to enhance strong trade links
The Association for Latin America (LAV) is gearing up to host its 75th Latin America Day on November 6 and 7, 2024 in Hamburg under the auspices of Dr. Peter Tschentscher, Mayor of Hamburg and the Chamber of Commerce. LAV is celebrating constructive and changing German Latin American economic relations with a view to more intense ties in future. The Chile House in Hamburg, modelled on a passenger ship, symbolises new beginnings and trade relations with Latin America. Â Since the early 17th century, Ecuadorian and Costa Rican sugar, coffee and bananas have been traded, while raw materials such as copper from Chile and ores are transhipped via the Port of Hamburg. Meantime, Hamburg and Latin American countries have signed bilateral agreements on sustainability, climate protection and renewable energies.
