Ibero-american Cultural Congress

Puerto Rico's Participation in the Ibero-American Cultural Congress in 2013

United States views on international law [1] in relation to Puerto Rico's Participation in the Ibero-american Cultural Congress: The Department of State of Puerto Rico also contacted the U.S. Department of State regarding possible participation in the Ibero-American Cultural Congress to be held in Spain in November 2013. The U.S. response is available at (Secretary of State website) state.gov/s/l/c8183.htm and includes the following:

The U.S. Department of State does not object to representatives of Puerto Rico attending the 2013 Cultural Congress, provided that Puerto Rico not attend in the capacity of a member of the Congress or of the Ibero-American Cultural Community, that Puerto Rico not seek or accept to be treated as a sovereign State at the Congress, and that Puerto Rico sign no instruments in connection with the Congress without the prior authorization of the U.S. Department of State.
