"What does Latin America expect from Europe and Europe from Latin America?" is the question facing the thirty or so experts that met at the Bilbao Euskalduna Conference Centre to take part in these dialogues organised by the Sabino Arana foundation and the European Democratic Party.  The discussions were only opened to the general public for two hours, during a round table opened by the EBB chairman.

Urkullu concluded that he was "convinced  that Latin America must be a strategic ally for Europe" and that "it is now like for Europeans and Latin Americans to use the challenges of economic globalisation by consolidating this stability to drive our trade, social and economic relations".  He ended his speech by turning to the entrenched traces of violence between Latin America and the Basque Country and the allusion of ADOS, an incentive where the "EAJ-PNV also aspires to foster a new Basque PEACE programme".

"ADOS means the sovereignty of politics, democracy and the people. It means overcoming a stage of violence and imposition by opening up a new stage of coexistence between and for everyone". According to Urkullu, ADOS is "the supremacy of politics". "We offer time and discretion. We waste time and understanding. At the end of the last century, in the penultimate episode of violence on our continent, in Ireland, the European Union implemented the PEACE programme to work towards peace. We are also aspiring to foster a new Basque PEACE programme in the ADOS framework to put an end to the violence of the last century once and for all and open up the way for a future of peace and freedom. ADOS is an opportunity for everyone, a peace agreement in a new framework of political coexistence in the Basque Country. It is the proof that violence is the past and politics is the future. It is worth giving it another go," ended the nationalist leader.
