Ernesto Samper said the upcoming Summit of the Americas would serve as a good opportunity to “reassess relations between the U.S. and South America.”

The Secretary-General for the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) suggested that all U.S. military bases in Latin America should be removed.

In an interview with news agency EFE, UNASUR head Ernesto Samper said that the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Panama next month could serve as place to “reassess relations between the U.S. and South America.”

"A good point on the new agenda of relations (on the continent) would be the elimination of U.S. military bases” from South America, "a leftover from the days of the Cold War and other clashes," Samper added.
