A release from PARLATINO, headquartered in Panama since 2008, noted that Gonzalez met with IILA Secretary General Giorgio Silli to strengthen cooperation ties between the two institutions.

The two officials exchanged views on opportunities to expand collaboration in areas of common interest, including sustainable development, regional integration, institutional strengthening, and the exchange of experiences among Latin America, the Caribbean, and Italy.

They also discussed strategic initiatives on climate action, food security, and innovation, while highlighting the importance of multilateralism and political dialogue in addressing challenges shared by the region.

Founded in Rome in 1966, the IILA is an intergovernmental organization that boosts cooperation between Italy and Latin American countries in cultural, scientific, technical, economic, and social fields.
