Ahead of Canning House's 80th Anniversary, Dr Lisa Cameron MP submitted an Early Day Motion to Parliament expressing congratulations and recognising the organisation's unique contributions to the UK's relations with Latin America and Iberia.

The Motion, EDM18 tabled on 7 November 2023, reads:

"That this House congratulates Canning House on reaching its 80th anniversary; recognises its unique contribution to the strengthening of understanding and fostering of closer British relations with Latin America, Spain and Portugal; applauds the 1st Viscount Davidson for his foresight in founding Canning House in November 1943; recognises the great benefits of Britain increasing its connectivity in multiple fields, including education, culture, trade and diplomacy, with countries across Latin America, including the major G20 economies of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina; and expresses delight that a rejuvenated Canning House, based in new offices in Westminster, with an enterprising and stimulating programme of events, promises to perform its valuable role for many more decades to come."

Canning House's 80th Anniversary, marking the organisation's eight decades of promotion of Latin America and Iberia in the UK, is tomorrow, Thursday 9 November 2023.
