Big News in the City


Lima has been a bit more crazy than usual this week, with the arrival of the European Union - Latin America and the Caribbean (EU-LAC) summit. Some 60 heads of state from these two regions are here, and security is tight. Protests are expected, so they have closed off large sections of many major roads. The city has even built a brand new press center to accomodate the over 1,500 journalists planned to cover the event. The conference will mostly focus on poverty, sustainable development, and the environment.
