Speaking in the plenary session of the Summit, Abinader highlighted the work of the Iberoamerican General Secretariat, saying that “the agenda that we have before us was the result of intense days in ministerial meetings and forums that have been held during these two years in the Dominican Republic and other countries performed.
He highlighted what is being analyzed at the Ibero-American Conference on Financial Questions in the face of the uncertainties caused by the pandemic and “the need to promote a financial architecture that has as its principle and basis the necessary institutionalized legal certainty and is able to attract the necessary investments was made to mitigate the crisis”.
He also pointed out that “in our region we have seen a noticeable setback in food security, people who had improved their diets have suffered hunger again.”
That’s why he said he proposed at the meeting of Dominican agriculture ministers to work on a critical path to put the region on safer paths to recovering and surpassing current numbers against hunger.
On food safety, he said “we cannot afford to go backwards” while highlighting environmental achievements and commitment
rational use of renewable and non-renewable natural resources.
All this, he stressed, to counteract the most serious impacts of environmental degradation, climate change, biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and failure to restore.
