The region possesses resources and capabilities that are gaining increasing importance on the international stage. It is vital that we know how to leverage our stability and productive potential to make a difference.<\/p>V\u00edctor -Ito- Bison\u00f3, Minister of Foreign Affairs<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
