On 13 June 2025, the Deputy Mayor of Warsaw, Aldona Machnowska-Góra, together with Juan Sebastián Bayona Díaz, Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Colombia, and Alicia Irene Falkowski, Ambassador of Argentina, opened the Latin America Square on behalf of the ambassadors of Latin American and Caribbean countries in Warsaw.
– We are meeting here today in a beautiful location in the Praga-Południe district of Saska Kępa for a special event: the opening of the Latin America Square. This initiative was undertaken by representatives of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States. It symbolises not only our great friendship, but also the long-standing relations between Warsaw and the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean. It represents the Latin culture and literature that Poles love and the great works created by Polish intellectuals who emigrated to Latin America. Apart from everyday culture, music, cuisine, enthusiasm and energy, this is something that unites us – said Aldona Machnowska-Góra during the official opening of the square.
The President also mentioned another important symbol of our shared history: the araucaria tree, which is native to South America but also familiar to Warsaw and Polish residents, and which was planted in the square together.
Juan Sebastián Bayona Díaz, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the Embassy of Colombia, gave a speech in which he emphasised the importance of the square in strengthening relations between Latin America and Poland:
– We are confident that the Latin America Square will become a gathering space, reflection and community, where Warsaw will embrace our region as an active part of its urban landscape and, at the same time, as part of its plural identity.
