The summit is dedicated to the deepening of economic cooperation, namely in energy, between the European Union and Latin America.
The European Union wants to intensify trade with Latin American countries and the Caribbean and enable the use of energy sources in those countries, said the host of the summit and chairman of the European Union, Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel.
The event was also attended by UN Secretary general Kofi Annan, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and Mexican President Vicente Fox.
Croatian PM Sanader told reporters that Croatia's participation in the summit as a special guest was yet another proof the country's affirmation and the strengthening of its international position.
Sanader said that the fourth summit of the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean was extremely important because it focuses on cooperation between two regions of the world which is necessary in globalisation processes.
Sanader left Vienna early on Friday afternoon. Before leaving he held several bilateral meetings on the margins of the summit, including UN Secretary General Annan and several prime ministers from Europe and Latin America.
He said that the Prime Minister of Belize, Said Musa, would visit Croatia on Saturday
