For his part, the director of the subregional headquarters in Mexico of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Hugo Eduardo Beteta Méndez, pointed out that this Agenda allows Yucatecans to have a shared vision, which allows them to plan and build the future, incorporating alliances and commitments that translate into tangible benefits for all.

In this sense, Beteta Méndez thanked Vila Dosal and his team for their interest in promoting important change. “The Agenda that is being delivered today is very advanced for the rest of Mexico and Latin America. They can count on the contributions and accompaniment of ECLAC to accompany them in the 2040 agenda and take on the challenges of sustainable development in Yucatan”, he pointed out.

At the event, the Governor stated that the Yucatan that we all want cannot be decided by one Government, but must be decided by all of us, so the actions proposed in the Agenda will allow us to have a state full of opportunities. , which grows evenly, thinks and acts for the benefit of future generations.

Accompanied by the mayor of Mérida, Renán Barrera Concha, Vila Dosal recalled his firm commitment to transform things and provide the citizens with more and better job opportunities; however, due to the pandemic and weather phenomena, things changed and made us go a little slower, but they have not stopped us and, today, thanks to everyone’s efforts, we have managed to get ahead.

The Governor pointed out that today there is job creation and economic growth well above the national average, which little by little, is beginning to be felt in the pockets of Yucatecans, but it is everyone’s responsibility to direct our future development in a professional, planned, productive and sustainable way while taking care of cultural identity, Mayan heritage, customs, traditions and what makes us unique.

“What we Yucatecans want is to preserve their identity and their culture, we do not want lawsuits or sterile confrontations, but rather unity and to achieve this, a lot of social participation is required, as we did in the creation of the Yucatan 2040 Agenda”, he added.

For this reason, Vila Dosal affirmed that policies and actions that listen to the people will continue. “Because here in Yucatan, the projects and programs for the next 3 years will continue to be directed by the people, with their needs, their demands, and not by the government or political interests,” the governor said.

In the year 2040, we will look back and we will see that all this effort that has been made by all of us has been worth it. Because when you work in unity, better results are undoubtedly achieved and I have no doubt that this document will be the framework for planning and development of the transformation of Yucatan, not only in this government but will surely continue to be the basis for those who come later, concluded Vila Dosal.
