The 27th Ibero-American Summit in Andorra

Official Journal of the European Union

The 27th Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government will be held in the Principality of Andorra in 2020. Andorra, the newest and smallest member of the Ibero-American Conference, will host this meeting of the highest political level, which comprises 19 Latin American countries together with Spain, Portugal and Andorra, in order to work towards common goals such as Sustainable Development. The design of the coin shows a tree made up by human silhouettes and tine wheels. The human silhouettes symbolize the integration of society, culture and education for the realization of a sustainable future. The tine wheels symbolize the synergy of movement between the ideas and proposals of participants to this Summit. Next to the tree, there is the logo of this 27th Summit. On its upper side, three triangles represent the colours of the Andorran flag. On its lower side, six triangles represent Andorra’s opening towards Sustainable Development Goals. Around the design, there is the inscription ‘XXVII CIMERA IBEROAMERICANA ANDORRA 2020’ (27th Ibero-American Summit Andorra 2020). The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Additional information

In 2005 Andorra signed the Constitutional Treaty of the Ibero-American General Secretariat, which is based in the Spanish capital Madrid. The official and working languages are Spanish and Portuguese. The aim of this association is to promote cooperation, coordination and solidarity between the Member States. The biennial Ibero-American Summit will meet in Soldeu, Andorra, in 2020 under the motto "Innovation for sustainable development - goals for 2030". The coin depicts a stylised tree made up of human silhouettes and cogwheels. The silhouettes symbolise the integration of society, culture and education for a sustainable future, while the cogwheels symbolise the energy of movement among the ideas and proposals of the summit participants. The logo of the event, shown in the bottom right-hand corner, shows in the upper right-hand quadrant three segments for the colours of the Andorran flag, while in the bottom left-hand corner six segments are intended to represent Andorra's openness to the objectives of sustainable development.
