The arrogance didn't stop the, apparently:

While the 27-nation EU wanted the summit to foocus on new economic initiatives and closer cooperation to stave off surging Chinese influence in the region, several leaders of the 33-nation Community of Latin American and Caribbean States brought century-old recriminations over colonialism and slavery to the table.

Latin American and Caribbean States brought century-old recriminations over colonialism and slavery to the table.

I might be interpreting this incorrectly but this reads as the EU complaining that “century-old” conflicts are being brought up as if they don’t still effect those countries to this day.

I have Kwame Nkrumah’s book on the topic. It should be required reading.
