Monday, 6 April 2015
This week (April 8-12), the heads of state and representatives of 26 nations of Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States will meet in Panama City to participate in the Summit of the Americas (La Cumbre de las Americas) to discuss social, economic and political issues important to the region. And Twitter will bring you right to the center of activities.
This year’s summit, the seventh in a series, is also noteworthy for marking the first time the heads of the United States and Cuba will attend simultaneously, and are likely have a face-to-face meeting. This is the first such encounter for the two governments in the history of the summit.
Reporters, political analysts, commentators and citizens around the world will be closely following the week’s developments and Twitter will help to capture the action. Here are just a few ways to watch or jump into the conversation.

President Varela is not the only head of state who may take to Twitter to offer a backstage pass; President Obama may remark on the proceedings, as may Brazil’s president Dilma (@dilmabr), Argentina’s, Cristina Kirchner or any one of the leaders who are attending.
