The Canary Islands hosts the third edition of the Macaronesia Summit in Lanzarote, a key event to revitalize relations between the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde. Representatives of these four archipelagos discussed and approved cooperation strategies on key issues such as sustainable tourism, innovation, technology, renewable energy, circular economy and connectivity.

This summit marks the return of meetings between these mid-Atlantic territories, after a six-year break since their last edition in 2018 in San Miguel, Azores. The first summit took place in 2010 in Sao Vicente, Cape Verde. The Lanzarote meeting, which took place between 6 and 7 October, seeks to give a new impetus to territorial integration through an approach that allows common challenges to be faced.
