This week for Central America it’s very special, crucial to remember all those efforts to be an only region. Central America had in the decade of 1960 the Organisation of Central American States, this was the first integration of nations effort in the world, in that moment Europe was not United than now with the European Union.
October is the month of the Central American Integration Commemoration and it’s important to me say to all International Community we are an important region to work for the peace, the development, the universal education, we can be allied of South, North America and the Caribbean countries.
In 1991 was created the General Secretariat of the Central American Integration System, was signed the treaty of foundation in Tegucigalpa (Honduras) this was the initial work for all countries to have the peace after the wars Central America had in the decade of 1980. I write specially in this space to recognize the Central American Integration for the world, recently i was in a meeting and there in the assistants were Dutch diplomats, for me was a very big surprise because that is a great message, that means Europe and other countries are permanently looking us.
In the context of the General Assembly of United Nations celebrated in September of this year, the region had a great participation, they met with President Trump, Prime Minister Trudeau, European and Holy See delegations Missions.
Central America said in the Assembly is working for the Social Development Goals, this was an important space to share the opportunity of investment in the region.
In the present the necessity of the Integration as the same of Europe, it’s a region strategic for the International Trade and always procure the economic development, the integration is a development way, it’s maybe the only way to have a better quality of life to all citizens living in the different Central American countries.
In the commemoration of the day of the Integration of Central America i share my happiness but also i request to all, to look this region in a different way, to look like an opportunity to work, to have peace, to have development, to have commitment in the global issues and their solutions, look Central America like a Tourism business window, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean are the beaches they offer.
Central America it’s a region to have development and peace.
