EHSV spolupracuje s partnerskými organizáciami Latinskej Ameriky a Karibiku od 90. rokov minulého storočia. Viaceré stanoviská EHSV sa zamerali na vzťahy s týmto regiónom, a to na regionálnej, subregionálnej a národnej úrovni. Medzi priority EHSV patrí rozvoj organizácií občianskej spoločnosti, hospodársky a sociálny rozvoj, regionálna integrácia a spolupráca v multilaterálnej sfére.

Na regionálnej úrovni EHSV organizuje každý druhý rok stretnutia medzi zástupcami organizácií občianskej spoločnosti v Európe, Latinskej Amerike a Karibskej oblasti, ako jedno z prípravných podujatiach pred summitom EÚ – CELAC. 

Na subregionálnej a národnej úrovni bolo vytvorených viacero stálych orgánov: v roku 2009 EHSV zriadil okrúhly stôl pre občiansku spoločnosť s brazílskou hospodárskou a sociálnou radou s cieľom poskytnúť fórum pre dialóg a pokračujúcu spoluprácu medzi zástupcami brazílskej a európskej občianskej spoločnosti. Podľa asociačnej dohody medzi EÚ a Čile má výbor mandát na vytvorenie spoločného poradného výboru s partnermi z občianskej spoločnosti v Čile s cieľom monitorovať dohodu, pričom tento výbor nakoniec vznikol v roku 2016. Pokiaľ ide o krajiny Andského spoločenstva, EHSV je súčasťou domácej poradnej skupiny pre monitorovanie dohody o voľnom obchode medzi EÚ – Kolumbiou/Peru/Ekvádorom. Podieľa sa aj na činnosti Konzultačného výboru Cariforum – EÚ, ktorý monitoruje dohodu o hospodárskom partnerstve Cariforum – EÚ. V rámci Mercosuru (Hospodárske a sociálne poradné fórum) a so Strednou Amerikou (Poradný výbor systému integrácie Strednej Ameriky) sa vytvorili permanentné vzťahy medzi inštitucionálnymi partnermi EHSV.
