In an historic event, workers' representatives engaged in dialogue with the Ministers of Foreign Affairs in the framework of the XXXVIII OAS General Assembly. During this space, representatives of COSATE and TUCA presented the “Declaration on Youth,” in which they commented on the Declaration of Medellin on Youth and Democratic Values.

The central theme of the dialogue was youth employment, stressing the high levels of youth unemployment and inactivity and reiterating the need to accomplish more results in labor insertion through training and active employment policies. Workers and member states reiterated their commitment to youth employment.
