Abstract
This work discusses the role of culture in diplomacy. Dialogue is indispensable for diplomacy, which, in order to be fruitful, cannot do without culture. In the case of Ibero-America, culture is shown as a clear opportunity for stable bonding and lasting peace. What has been the role assigned to culture at the Ibero-American Summits of Heads of State and Government? To answer this question, the research method we have followed has been threefold: bibliographic sources, expert interviews and text analysis of the Declarations resulting from the aforementioned Ibero-American Summits have been used.
