The Sixth Summit Of The America's is over - and the biggest news seems to be the secret services that the US Secret Service was obtaining.
And that's because the summit failed to reach consensus; in fact it ended without the thirty Heads of State and Government signing a joint declaration.
They also disagreed on Cuba - the 32 Latin American and Caribbean nations, Belize included, want Cuba included in the next summit, the USA and Canada do not.
According to one news report, "The rare show of unity highlights the steady decline of Washington's influence in a region that has become less dependent on U.S. trade and investment."
Belize was represented by Deputy Prime Minister Gaspar Vega and Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington.
