We are welcoming you to a high-profile event that is associated with the establishment of Khazar University’s Institute of Asia-Pacific and African Studies (IAPAS). It is going to be in the format of a high-level colloquium, with official representatives of México, Chile, and Colombia to present as panellists. These three countries (as well as Perú) are members of the Pacific Alliance (Spanish: Alianza del Pacífico), a trade bloc, which borders the Pacific Ocean. The alliance was formed to improve regional integration, so complete freedom in the movement of goods, services, capital, and people between the four member states could be ensured. Together, the alliance’s combined population is nearly 230 million people, while it accounts for about 35% of Latin American GDP. This IAPAS high-level colloquium will be the first of its kind in our broader region’s academia when México, Chile, Colombia are to be discussed in the context of their ‘Pacific dimension’.
