Miñones and Barbosa agreed on the need to continue strengthening the ties of collaboration between the EU and the Region of the Americas in areas such as donation and transplants, the fight against addictions, the response to HIV and its stigma, tuberculosis and malaria, and the promotion of the 'One Health' perspective.
