The Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB) is the permanent support body to the Pro-Tempore Secretariat in the preparation of Ibero-American Summits. Founded in 2005 in replacement of the Secretariat of Ibero-American Cooperation, [1] its main task is to assume the technical, institutional and administrative management and coordination of the Summits.

The creation of the SEGIB was approved in 2003, during the 13th Ibero-American Summit in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), with the first Secretary-General appointed later in 2005. The main headquarters are located in Madrid (Spain), while it also has 3 smaller offices in Mexico City (Mexico), Lima (Peru) and Montevideo (Uruguay). [2] Spain assumes the majority of the financing, contributing around 60% of the budget. [3]

Enrique V. Iglesias (2005–2014) [4] and Rebeca Grynspan (2014-2021) [5] are the two officials who have served as Secretary-General of the SEGIB.
