Asturian diaspora congress in South America

Overview

Political leaders from the Principality of Asturias traveled to South America to participate in the V World Congress of Asturianía. The delegation included President Adrián Barbón, who visited Argentina and Uruguay, and Álvaro Queipo, President of the Asturian People's Party, who visited Chile.

The congress, held in Buenos Aires, marked the first time the event was hosted abroad. It served as a platform for representatives from global Asturian cultural centers to discuss preserving regional identity and traditions. During the event, President Barbón referred to these international centers as ‘the best embassies of Asturias in the world.’

Participants identified the need for generational renewal within these institutions to ensure continuity. The congress also highlighted the significant Asturian diaspora in Argentina, which is estimated at approximately 38,000 people.
