Gov. Rick Scott has announced that he will host the 2017 Latin American Summit on Oct. 2 in Miami to discuss the important relationship Florida shares with the region.

The Latin American Summit will bring together world leaders to improve current partnerships and build new relationships that will better serve the interests of Florida families, generate economic prosperity and enhance democracy and human rights throughout Latin America.

“When I was elected governor, I made a commitment to work every day to listen to Florida families and fight for what’s most important to them. As the unrest and oppression continue in Cuba and Venezuela, I am hearing from more and more Floridians who are expressing the need for change in Cuba and Venezuela. I join them in demanding democracy and freedom across Latin America,” Scott said in a statement.
