President Leonel Fernandez has attended the World Economic Forum on Latin America held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He participated in a debate on 29 April. He returned Saturday, 30 April after visiting Guatemala and Brazil.

Latin American leaders were meeting under the slogan "Laying the Foundation for a Latin American Decade."

Over 700 regional and global leaders from 46 countries attended the meeting. They concluded that the future looks bright for economies across Latin America, while challenges remain. They envision that regional cooperation is essential for continued economic growth.

"Even in the midst of difficult circumstances [and] financial turbulence in the world, Latin America has continued to grow and has remained stable," said President Fernandez, pointing to the region's "abundant natural resources" and the growing demand for commodities from India and China.
