He took the opportunity to extend gratitude for Japan’s continuous support, channeled through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), particularly in various projects such as the formulation of the Regional Master Plan for Mobility and Logistics 2035. This initiative aims to establish a competitive, efficient, secure, and integrated regional logistics and mobility system for the proper transportation and value chains.

Ulloa conveyed that this topic would be addressed in the upcoming summit of Heads of State and Government of the Central American Integration System (SICA). The summit aims to discuss a set of reforms to the 1991 Tegucigalpa Protocol, with the objective of advancing towards the consolidation of regional unity.

The meeting concluded with both leaders expressing optimism about the future prospects of the bilateral relationship and the potential for collaborative efforts in fostering regional integration and development.
