STORYLINE:
The Summit of the Americas opened on Friday as leaders from 34 countries gathered at the Argentinian resort town of Mar del Plata.
Brazilian president Luis Ignacio da Silva and Bolivian president Fernando Rodriguez were among the leaders that arrived on Friday at the two day Summit.
Thousands of demonstrators, shouting "Get out Bush!" marched in the streets of the town, protesting against US President George W. Bush's call for liberalised trade and increased entrepreneurship.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and thousands of protesters rallied to criticise efforts to relaunch talks for a Free Trade Area of the Americas, or FTAA.
The trade zone, if achieved, would rival the European Union as the world's largest, but its creation has been stalled for years amid bickering over U.S. farm subsidies and other obstacles.
Bush, who met with Argentine President Nestor Kirchner early on Friday, made no mention of free trade but said the two had a frank talk about Argentina's struggle to extricate itself from its financial meltdown.
Chavez arrived in Argentina early Friday after a week of criticising Bush and U.S. policies.
The leader has said free trade is being forced on Latin American countries, and he has instead pushed for an anti-FTAA deal based on socialist ideals.
US President George W. Bush held a joint press conference with Kirchner early on Friday and worked to smooth the United States' troubled image in Latin America, commending Argentina's efforts to improve its damaged economy.
