The Permanent Secretary of the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System (SELA), Ambassador Clarems Endara, greeted the President of Peru, Pedro Castillo, who assumed the presidency pro tempore of the Andean Community (CAN) for the period 2022-2023 from his counterpart of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is an honour for me to have held the presidency pro tempore of the Andean Community. I am pleased to hand over this baton now to the President of Peru, Pedro Castillo, a good friend, to whom I wish the greatest success as the new president pro tempore,\u201d Lasso said at a ceremony held at CAN headquarters in Lima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the brief ceremony, which concluded the XXII Meeting of the Andean Presidential Council, Castillo said it was \u201ca challenge to assume the post\u201d and it was up to the Peruvians to \u201copen the spaces\u201d to the rest of the members of the bloc, which also includes Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, \u201cto be a single family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly before, during his speech at the presidential meeting, the Peruvian head of state called for the return of \u201cChile and Venezuela as full members,\u201d countries with which they share \u201cthe Andean heritage in geographical, political, historical, and social terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Peruvian leader said Peru will work to materialise the commitments made today during the summit, in order to close the gaps for the benefit of the peoples of the Andean Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the Secretary-General of CAN, Jorge Pedraza, stated that the dynamics of the Community, under the presidency of Peru, will be focused on the social area, trade and infrastructure in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also invited his counterparts \u201cto undertake a social re-engineering of CAN that places people at the heart of the integration process and the ultimate goal of these advances,\u201d and added that this will be a \u201ccentral issue\u201d during his term as president pro tempore of the bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To that end, he proposed to conduct \u201can exercise of joint reflection on the strengthening and updating of the social dimension of the Andean Community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objective is to \u201cgenerate public policies that respond to the current demands and needs of the population,\u201d while aiming to \u201creduce inequalities in the Andean subregion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
