Ambassador Clarems Endara submitted this Friday his management report as Permanent Secretary of the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System (SELA) for the period 2021-2025, in which he highlights a 40% execution rate of the Work Programme until July this year.

“We managed to ensure that SELA’s team was directly involved and committed to each of the activities planned in the Work Programme. We made progress in the modernisation of the organisation in order to align its thematic areas. I would like to express my gratitude to all the officials who have accepted the challenge of having a new organisation with a convening capacity,” Ambassador Endara said during his speech.

The report was received by Ambassador Lesly David, Permanent Secretary of SELA elected for the period 2025-2029, who signed the handover document and acknowledged the work carried out by his predecessor. On behalf of the organisation, he made a special recognition to Ambassador Clarems Endara for his outstanding contribution to the strengthening of regional integration during his term of office.
