    Yerevan (Yerkir) - The sixth meeting of progressive leaders was held
    in Chile on March 28.

    The meeting was attended by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown,
    U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens
    Stoltenberg , Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and
    Presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, Cristina Fernandez
    of Argentina and Tabaro Vezquez of Uruguay.

    Chile's socialist President Michelle Bachelet hosted the summit, which
    opened Friday with a seminar on "a progressive response to the global
    crisis," organised by the Policy Network, an international think tank,
    and Chile's Instituto Igualdad (Equality Institute).

    Other participants in the gathering were Organisation of American
    States (OAS) secretary general José Miguel Insulza, and the executive
    secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC),
    Alicia Bercena.

    The progressive leaders summits, the first of which took place in
    1999 at the instigation of then U.S. President Bill Clinton and then
    British Prime Minister Tony Blair, bring together heads of state
    and government and other high-ranking government and international
    officials with ties to socialist, social democratic, labour and
    democratic parties around the world.

    This weekend's summit was the first to be held in Latin America.
