1. What can you tell us about the summit? And what do you expect will be the highlights and issues addressed at the conference?

2. You mentioned Cuba. Just days ago, US President Barack Obama announced the lifting of travel restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba. How was the US move received in Latin America? And do you expect that President Obama will have more to offer on the Cuba issue and the US policy on Latin America in general?

3. In recent years, China has strengthened relations with Latin American countries, particularly regarding the economy and trade. Will relations between China and Latin America likely be on the agenda?
