Notes
  1. Pro tempore presidency is assigned to countries and it automatically passes to the next president after elections. After the 2019 Bolivian political crisis, Jeanine Áñez would become pro tempore president of CELAC. However, Mexico called for a new CELAC summit on its own. Jeanine Áñez denounced that the summit should be called for by Bolivia. As the result of this dispute, Jeanine Áñez did not attend to the CELAC summit and did not formally pass the pro tempore presidency.[9][10]
