In attendance from the Dialogue were president Michael Shifter, Peter D. Bell Rule of Law program director Michael Camilleri, director of development and external relations Denisse Yanovich, and director of the Asia and Latin America program Margaret Myers.
Ambassador Pinzón had a candid conversation with the event attendees in which he touched upon subjects of great importance for Latin America and Colombia, including President Duque’s objections to the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, the Venezuelan crisis, the new Prosur initiative, and the regional state of affairs with the United States and China.
