The new UNASUR headquarters in Ecuador
On December 4, at a meeting of Heads in Guyaquil, the annual Pro-Tempore Chairmanship of UNASUR was passed from President Desi Delano Bouterse of Suriname to President Jose Alberto Mujica Cordano of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay.
On December 5, in Quito, the new modern magnificent headquarters building of UNASUR was inaugurated during day long ceremonies of great pomp and splendour. The location, known as the “Centre of the Earth”, lent greatly to the grandeur of the occasion, set at the foot of a low hill leading to a temple to the Sun God, amidst peaks of the Andean mountain range; the Equator is marked on a line through the Centre of the Temple.
The 12-member UNASUR comprise: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Peru, Paraguay, Suriname, Colombia, Chile and Bolivia.
