Building on our election observation mission to Colombia’s 2026 presidential election, IRI met with @CNE_Colombia President @JFLemosU, VP @joseaparraf, & newly elected magistrates to identify shared priorities & strengthen cooperation ahead of #Colombia’s 2027 regional elections. Strong democratic institutions are key to prosperity & stability in 🇨🇴 & across the Western Hemisphere.

Grateful to Guatemala's President @BArevalodeLeon for welcoming an @IRIglobal delegation & for a valuable dialogue on shared regional priorities, including security, prosperity, & the rule of law. We remain committed to contributing to a democratic & prosperous future for #Guatemala. 🇬🇹

As authoritarian regimes like China & Russia challenge global stability, what role should America play in defending freedom abroad?

IRI President @DCTwining joined @NDI President @WittesNDI & @ChicagoCouncil CEO @londonvinjamuri last week to discuss U.S. leadership, global challenges, & the future of democracy.

One month ago, IRI welcomed Argentine President @JMilei to New York for a timely conversation on how economic freedom, democratic values, & security reinforce one another.

As authoritarian powers seek to expand their influence across the Western Hemisphere, strong U.S.-Argentina ties are more important than ever. 🇦🇷🇺🇸
