Overview of the Simulation

The Ibero-American Summits, which began in 1991, were established to formalize the historical ties between the 21 Ibero-American countries and the Iberian Peninsula through dialogue, cooperation, and solidarity. Since then, the summits have become vital to regional cooperation, benefiting citizens with concrete programs that promote growth and mutual support.

This simulation mimics the Ibero-American Summit, where heads of state and government meet biennially to discuss important issues facing the region. By participating in SIA 2025, students will have the opportunity to engage in these discussions, representing the interests of their assigned country while addressing global challenges.
