And in other news, the Minister met with Rafael Manzanero, Executive Director of Friends for Conservation and Development, four days ago to discuss the organization's work in the Chiquibul National Park and other matters of national importance. The Minister told us how that went:
Francis Fonseca:
"Rafael Manzanero, the executive director, came to meet with me and our team at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, really to... to update us on... on his work, and to... to make sure that... that, you know, we're... we're coordinating our efforts. Their work is... they're doing tremendous work. You know, it's not only about conservation, it's really on the front line of national security. So we want to work closely with them at all times. So it was a meeting about how can we strengthen that relationship, that partnership-how can we work more meaningfully together? Are there challenges that he is facing that we can help to address? So it was a very, very good meeting. I try to meet with them at least twice a year so that we can ensure that... that, you know, we're on the same page."
