The Summits of the Americas
Secretariat is pleased to announce a Virtual Forum on the theme
“Promoting Energy Security”,
as it relates to the
Draft Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain.
The forum will be held from October 27th to November
4th, 2008, through the
Summits of the Americas Virtual Platform (SVP).
The
SVP is an
on-line tool designed to facilitate on-going communication with
social actors, thus contributing to making the Summits of the
Americas Process more participatory through the use of Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

countries, which are currently negotiating the Draft Declaration
that will be signed by the Heads of State and Government of the 34
OAS member States during the Fifth Summit of the Americas (Port of
Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, April 17-19, 2009).
