Overview
- Leaders approved a 52‑point text opposing the threat or use of force and urging compliance with international law and the UN Charter.
- References to recent maritime tensions in the Caribbean and Colombia’s Pacific were kept indirect, with EU officials saying naming the United States would have cost signatures.
- Fifty‑eight of 60 delegations endorsed the document as Venezuela and Nicaragua formally dissociated themselves.
- Only nine countries were represented by heads of state or government and the meeting, planned for two days, was shortened to one.
- Argentina sent a lower‑rank envoy, declined to back several clauses including those on Gaza, Cuba, AI governance, and disinformation, and the summit announced cooperation steps such as a citizen‑security alliance, a care‑economy pact, and new Global Gateway projects on connectivity and power links.
