no country is exempt from this impact or can see its economy grow without migrants.\u00bb She also stressed that \u00abto take advantage of the challenges and opportunities of international cooperation, it is essential to strengthen the management of migration through greater investment in intra-regional cooperation.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diana Mart\u00ednez, Technical Secretary of the Regional Network of Civil Organizations for Migration (RNCOM), stressed that this discussion represents \u00aban opportunity to reflect collectively on the implementation of the pact from a regional, inclusive and evidence-based perspective.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants included more than 90 representatives from at least 35 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and North America, including Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Haiti, Argentina, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Panama, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Brazil, Spain, Italy, the United States, Guyana, Belize and Suriname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three thematic panels were held during the day.
