The event will bring together specialists, authorities, and representatives of international organizations, with the objective of inviting Latin American and Caribbean countries to present their experiences in governance and the development of domestic institutions for the management of transboundary waters and/or river basins.

The seminar will emphasize fostering dialogue, exchanging experiences, and strengthening international cooperation among countries facing common challenges.

Through this participation, DIFROL reaffirms Chile’s commitment to water diplomacy and to building spaces for dialogue that promote joint solutions for the countries of the region.
