INTERVENÇÕES <strong>DO</strong> PRESIDENTE LUIZ INÁCIO LULA <strong>DA</strong> SILVA<br />

qué valió esta reunión y yo sólo tengo una respuesta, por lo todo que yo<br />

conozco de reuniones en que yo participo, yo sólo puedo decir que valió la<br />

pena. Si no hubiéramos hecho más nada, sólo el hecho del Grupo de Río<br />

haber aprobado la vuelta de Cuba a las instituciones y a las instancias<br />

multilaterales, ya es un hecho inusitado, porque los que presidieron los países<br />

antes de nosotros no tuvieron coraje de colocar a Cuba en el Grupo de Río.<br />

Por tanto, de corazón, muchas gracias a cada uno de ustedes, a los presidentes,<br />

a las presidentas, a los ministros, a los asesores, yo sólo puedo terminar<br />

invitándolos a un almuerzo.<br />

La conferencia es después del almuerzo, estamos con hambre, estoy con<br />

hambre, ya son las dos. Bien, una cosa importante, compañeros, es que hasta<br />

el final de 2010, hasta terminar mi mandato, ya tengo decreto publicado de la<br />

Embajada residente en Granada y faltan apenas 4 países: Antigua y Barbuda,<br />

Dominica, San Cristóbal y Nieves y San Vicente y las Granadinas. Hasta 2010,<br />

nosotros tendremos Embajadas residentes en todos los países de América Latina<br />

y Caribe. Un abrazo, compañeros, y gracias por la presencia.<br />

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – Just a suggestion to my<br />

colleagues, in both the Ministerial Meeting in Mexico and the subsequent<br />

meeting in Venezuela, I think it is important that we raise issues we can discuss<br />

and take decisions on. For example, President Chávez talks about financial<br />

integration of the Fund, and so on, which is an issue that could be discussed in<br />

more depth so that when we arrive in Venezuela we are ready to make a<br />

decision and vote. I believe it is extremely important that we pare down the<br />

number of issues in order that we are able to decide, discuss, and deliberate<br />

on issues.<br />

Well, first I would like to end by saying that a luncheon will be offered<br />

shortly, after which ten bilateral meetings will held. Everyone will sit down to<br />

talks. Indeed, this is one of the strong points of these international summits,<br />

the bilateral meetings we organize. First, I would like to thank all of the<br />

delegations from the bottom of my heart for recognizing the historic significance<br />

of this meeting. We have heard accounts of national settings that illustrate, at<br />

the outset, our diversity, but what has become increasingly clear to us is the<br />

growing awareness that we need to permanently consolidate, I would say<br />

from a legal standpoint, even, and from an economic standpoint, a more<br />
