In terms of financial allocation, President Bukele disclosed that $30 million will be invested in Phase 6 of the Territorial Control Plan, encompassing the newly formed National Integration Directorate and its associated projects.

The President also underscored the nation’s remarkable strides in security, proudly asserting El Salvador’s status as the safest country in Latin America. He concluded by highlighting the resurgence of the nation, urging citizens to have faith in their capabilities and embrace the belief that other countries are already doing so.
