The European Union and Latin American countries such as Brazil, Columbia, and Chile have been working together to better themselves. There has been a focus on security along with trade and 31 other focal points. It seems to be a good idea to help these countries that may no have the monetary power or global power to fight battles for themselves.

It is important to have allies in this growing global economy and it seems fitting that these groups would go together. While this article is older and from 2002 it is still relevant.
