El Salvador has officially assumed the Pro Tempore Presidency of the Mesoamerica Project for the second half of 2025, following the handover that took place during the II Meeting of the Executive Commission of the Mesoamerica Project, held this week in Guatemala.

Speaking virtually at the event, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Adriana Mira reaffirmed El Salvador’s commitment to regional development. “El Salvador receives with honor, but above all with great responsibility, the Pro Tempore Presidency of the Mesoamerica Project,” said Mira. “Under President Nayib Bukele’s administration, we lead strategic efforts to strengthen regional integration by promoting initiatives that foster sustainable development and generate greater opportunities for economic growth.”

Mira emphasized the importance of continuing to promote a shared vision and coordinated work to advance concrete actions aimed at improving the social and economic conditions of the region. She also confirmed that El Salvador will follow up on the 2024–2028 Institutional Strategic Plan, describing it as “a clear roadmap toward inclusive and resilient development for Mesoamerica.”

As part of its leadership, El Salvador will continue implementing the Mesoamerican Work Agenda while introducing new strategic proposals focused on key sectors such as telecommunications, energy, economy, and the environment.

“Our government reaffirms its strong commitment to contributing actively to building a stronger and more connected Mesoamerica,” Mira stated. “We trust we will have the support of each member country to continue advancing together, tirelessly, in our shared efforts for the well-being and development of our populations.”

During the meeting, Vice Minister Mira expressed gratitude to the Mesoamerica Project representatives for their support and acknowledged Guatemala’s leadership during the first semester of this year.
