Good afternoon. for everyone. We greet you. A special greeting to everyone present and to those who connect and follow this broadcast through the social networks of the Presidency of the Republic and throughout the country through the public media system of Colombia. We are greeting you from the Panaca National Agricultural Culture Park , where President Abelardo de la Espriella continues his visit to the Quindío department, which has brought important announcements and great news for the region, and today's meeting will be no exception. Welcome everyone. To begin, we invite you to stand and sing the notes of the national anthem of the Republic of Colombia. Oh glory, immortal joy, south of wind's sorrows. You will see rings of pain that you will look upon, freedom is released free at night, you will pour forth dawns of its invincible light. All of humanity that understands the words of the Lord. Oh unceasing glory, oh immortal joy. In bursts of pain in the belly. of pain. You may take a seat. Thank you so much. Okay, now we want to invite Mr. Jorge Valen Franco, the founder and corporate president of the Panaca National Agricultural Culture Park, who will offer a welcome greeting, Mr. Jorge, over here. Welcome and thank you. Thank you very much, man. Now a microphone. Yes. I feel a little more at ease here. Ana Lu, a man with a woman like you by his side is happy and has the energy that this man has to have saved Colombia from the clutches of all the Germans. Mr. President, this is the first time I've called you Mr. President, but I'm going to keep calling you that because you overspent on capacity and overspent on energy. Thank you, Minister. Housing is part of the tourism sector. As the person in charge of the regions, you're going to have to deal with many of them because tourism is truly the biggest driver of the Colombian economy and the development of cultures in the regions of Colombia. Minister, we will have many things to do. First of all, I will uncover myself before God, just as you do, and I will thank Him because Panaca is alive today, because this is a work of faith in God, of love for nature, but it has been brought to this moment with great perseverance and with many difficulties. And that's not even mentioning the last four years, where, apart from everything that happened to many Colombians, we went through it all. Many things that are at the heart of Panaca through the Panaca Foundation were discontinued. This is an entity that I'm going to address through different topics, but then we'll unite them into one. The Panaca Foundation has more than 10,000 graduates. Of the 10,000 graduates, through the mutual support of the family, we have about 900 trained ex-soldiers and beyond that, 85% of them did not want to remain ordinary, they are good citizens. That's why we didn't do it again , because the common people wanted to implement in a private non-profit foundation a policy that is not the one that serves Colombia, which is capitalism with a social conscience. We have trained more than 4,500 people in sustainable rural tourism and more than 5,000 people in agricultural work technicians who are spread across 13 countries in Latin America. Today the Panaca Foundation is hibernating because of the aforementioned politician. What a shame! Because that was the best benefit for any farmer, especially in rural Colombia and particularly in the areas with the greatest potential for tourism development in the country. So these are issues that need to be addressed in much greater depth in the future. First, Panaca, as a work of ugliness and love for nature, is a unique entertainment concept in the world. And not because it's in my family's hands, because it's no longer just in my hands, thank God. It's a project where we invent every day and learning by doing is wonderful, learning by losing is unforgettable, but we are ahead of time, Mr. President. My father said when I told him this idea, son, that for humanity in the 21st century, enjoying life from the basics will be the most necessary thing, but at the same time the least offered. Gonzalo Valet Mejía, a magistrate for life and a great reader. And look at us today, folks, we're all glued to technology. We get home and we don't greet each other or say goodbye, and we are absolutely dependent on a vice that is all of social media and all these things. This park was made for the family, for the child, for the young person, for the adult, to educate. In fact, the traffic at this park is unique, as seen by the IAPA, which is the International Association of Theme and Amusement Parks. This park has a segmentation equal to the population. This is of interest to an adult, a young person, a child, or the whole family. And as we were looking at what we were doing before we started, an earthquake occurred. January 25, 1999. And that's when I said, the opportunity has arrived and so we embarked on this adventure and our friends told us , "You who have no needs." And I told him, "That's why I'm going to go out and make my own way , because what's the point of an easy life ?" TRUE. So that? And to live off the rent, right? Long live Oscar de la Renta! And I got involved with this story and started building it and developing it, and the rancher friends, many of whom were acquaintances from Montería , started sitting in the stands. This fool thinks he's going to get paid to milk a cow. And they milked the cow and the whole concept of Panaca was developed and Panaca reached peak years or years of great success with 386,000 people, not being a park of mechanical games or water games, which is the adrenaline, but a cultural part. Then came the issue of what's happening with Quindío. Gentlemen, in Quindío, I am going to ask a question to the gentlemen at the head table. How many hotel rooms do you think Quindío has, Mr. Minister? You have already read, you have 983. Okay, it had been illustrated. Consider, Minister, that the medium-sized hotels in Cancun or Puntacana have 800 rooms and there are hotels with up to 4000 rooms. So, Quindío is a department that was born backwards, and these are illustrations that are very easy to understand. Cancun, Puntacana, Miami, the entire Florida coast. First there was accommodation, then entertainment. Today, Puntacana, in the province of Altagracia, has more than 60,000 hotel rooms and 85,000 tourist rental properties. And we believe and want our economy to be sustainable over time, where here in this park in January 53,000 to 55,000 people enter in a good season of normal times and in February 10,000 or 12,000 enter. The country is a country of cycles, with only 65 days of tourism per year. The rest are the old folks. I come, I'm already old, the schools come, but the traffic is cyclical, which doesn't allow for a stable economy. But when Panaca was envisioned, we were thinking, especially me, about something that made me very sad in life, how all the gentlemen, my friends, great professionals, work, become professionals, get doctorates, postgraduate degrees, work and retire. And I see them all in Caruya or at Éxito or at Juan Valdés drinking coffee. Human beings become who they are in life when they fulfill the mission of perhaps having something to live on, being able to dedicate themselves to their tastes, their hobbies, their personal activities. Even the world's senior citizens have nothing but dominoes, Parcheesi, Villar, a church and a theater. And those with money play goals. But I started thinking that the world's population is growing. And we started to discuss these issues with the national government, its vice president, José Manuel, in a discussion we had before Ivan Duque took office. They called me, as they had called me and other gentlemen who know more than oneself. When Uribe's government began. Uribe first, tax extensions, income tax, property tax, things, build hotels. Many urban hotels could be built, but there was no standard, Dr. Mauricio, for rural hotels or for the global trend in hotels, which is nature hotels, which touch areas that do not have a standard. So, in 2018 we set about generating a concept called special tourism projects, a higher hierarchy regulation than the POT that allows, with clear specifications of the destination, not changing the land use, but allowing the implementation in agricultural or protection land uses so that there is accommodation and entertainment for humanity. City hotels will continue to exist, beach hotels will continue to exist, but the whole world is looking for nature, which is what Panaca sought 30 years ago. And Panaca has developed five concepts during these 30 years . Eduta, which is what many of you have come here with your families to learn by doing, that's clear. Panaca culture is the safeguard of all the traditions and all the activities of the agricultural sector, but also of many others of the human being. So, at Panaca Cultura we have about 15 themes in development. The dairy workshop, the carpentry workshop, the carpentry workshop, the leatherworking workshop. The coffee workshop, the chocolate workshop so that in this territory where there will be 100 tourist properties, the people who come to them will have cultural activities that are useful to them, gatherings, music, everything they want. The Natura nature reserve, hiking, birdwatching, flora observation, fauna observation, bioagroecology, all the beneficial activities for man to come and learn in that Natura reserve, the dog workshop so that my grandchildren can come and learn to bathe a dog and not go and pay 120,000 pesos to have it bathed. Learning by doing, enjoying the things of the countryside. Then comes Panaca Ventura, the canopy tour, the rappelling, the mule ride along spectacular trails, whatever you want, without technology. And the most important of all, which is the formation of the being, which is what makes the human being great with everything he learns. So with those five elements, nature, culture, adventure, spirit, which is being and education, we generate the enrichment of the concept of PTEs. The special tourism project Territorio Panaca, which has had a longer journey than the gentleman's in 11 years. 11 times 13 almost always gives 143. 11 times 13 143 stations for 11 years seeking permission for this. We have it now, Mr. President. We've got it, Minister. No, buy a small house. No, we are ready, we are in the process with the Quimbaya municipality. Skirt the open council. It was done 15 days ago, but it had a legal flaw. It's done on the 17th and by the 17th, 170-something houses have already been sold. It has a financial break-even point, it has the financing, it has money in trust, and we are starting a sale of the first human-centered tourist real estate territory in the entire world. The concept of panaca territory will be an example for humanity, and with one virtue: anyone who wants to copy it can. In other words, there's the matrix, there's the step-by- step process, there we are, minister. There's a furry little monkey over here. Where is Gregory? He looks like my son. Mr. President, I try to give great importance to my children and my wife, especially my youngest. Gregorio has been managing the Panaca territories step by step for 8 years and is a man we offered to Julián yesterday and he stayed talking with him for as long as it took and we have to do some workshops because this project here in Quimbalaya Quindío generates 1.4 trillion pesos. Tourism development in the country needs to go to conflict zones and to border areas of nature, because we have also discovered those with all the people who have studied sustainable rural tourism here, but not by waiting 11 years for a permit. Minister, we were with José Manuel on the idea that this had to be completed in a maximum of 18 months, 6 months in each of the three stages, and the tourism project was lost. And this sells more easily than any real estate project anywhere in Colombia or the world, because these are real estate projects with a concept and a human touch. So today in the age of the tiger, President Mauricio, Dr. Mauricio, you, Jaime, you, special tourism projects can be the biggest and fastest trigger for economic transformation, for the world's highest demand market, which is the tourism and retirement housing market . Colombia has it there. We're rich. Let us be proud of our homeland, as you and the entire government have stated. These types of projects will enhance Colombia's standing in the world. There is no project in the world like Banaca territory or with the same concept, and they're going to die making projects like that because today this project, which I had to give up because I was broke, broke with COVID, with all that, but a real estate company came along and bought it from me, and there I have a benefit which is the traffic to the park and the traffic in the low seasons. This project is currently being sold for 25% more than a project in the Tebaida region with any luxurious finishes. So, that's what I wanted to tell you about the special tourism projects. I've come to make a few calls. First, Mr. President, your speed is similar to that of another friend of mine, but you surpass him. Our friend, to our. Our. Listen, you win, first of all, if we want reconstruction, if we want the reconstruction of the coffee region and the country, we have to get the insurance companies to do the inspection visits of the adjusters' adjustments. We were begging, we had the adjuster's visit on Tuesday , but there are people who haven't even scheduled it, minister, they haven't even scheduled it. So how can they expect me to start rebuilding if they don't give me the box to do it with ? And December will come, and next year will come, and although many people have the policies and have the ability to rebuild and the desire to rebuild, they cannot. So, if we want to rebuild the region, let's move the insurance adjusters. Secondly, this destination also needs, it does not compete with special tourism projects , large-scale hotels and there are large funds and I am going to talk about that with Samuel Bluman and with others that you have mentioned who are good and who are from the private sector. We are going to bring real estate investment funds and highly reputable hotel units from around the world to set up operations here. If you develop a property and rent it out to Barceló, you have millions of Barceló clients worldwide, and Meliá clients, and Hay clients, and anyone else you want. We need to break free from parochialism and the idea that a big hotel is coming and then who will rent my house to? That's also rented out because the step-by-step process of tourism in the world, and so it was in Costa Rica, is that I first arrive at a brand hotel, then at a boutique hotel, and then I buy a house. That's how it's always been in the world. So there are many things to learn here with us and from us. The other thing, Mr. President, which is not a tourism issue, is the issue of security, because without security there is nothing. And the issue of giving great importance to sustainable rural tourism, to experiential tourism on the peasant farm, to fishing tourism, to wildlife tourism, to all those types of tourism, because Colombia already has the heritage and it was so well-preserved that despite all the problems of the war, it is still there . There is perhaps no country in the world that has more nature conservation than Colombia has to this day. So there are many things to work on. I am very happy because I had been hiding away for four years, a little over four years, and I have been going to Bogotá for three weeks now. And although I haven't seen you, Mr. President, nor the minister, nor the other minister, when you arrive at the ministry offices you find energy, you find human quality, you find purpose, you find a level of commitment that existed during the time when the country was saved from being unviable. One thing, and I'll tell you something quickly, Mr. President, with your permission, you haven't seen us, but I have a precise instruction from you, and it's for that 1.4 trillion peso project for promotion. Today we are announcing 2 billion pesos from Font Tour so that this project can fully take off. Thank him, Mr. President. Thank you, Mauricio. I speak from emotion and from the heart. Julian told me yesterday, but I wrote and told him, if I write, I get tongue-tied, I get stuck and I do n't know how to speak. Here I go with my whole topic. What other topic am I missing, Julian? I'm doing well now. Look. And without alcohol, because someone who does n't drink can't think of anything. We'll have a drink right now. So , Mr. President, I am happy. I called him the first week after he launched his campaign, and I'll tell you what I said to him with all due respect: "Mr. President, buy some cheap sneakers, cheap snow cones, and get down to the people, because that's how you'll get to the presidency." I told him this or I didn't tell him at all, because I have a lot of affection and respect for him and I know his strength and that of his father and everything he will be able to do for this country hand in hand with all these people. Gentlemen, thank you very much. I love all the panacos very much. This is hard work. It's wonderful to be here. But tough is good. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you so much. Many thanks to Mr. Jorge Bed, the founder and corporate president of Panaca, for spending this time with us. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the Republic of Colombia, Dr. Abelardo de las Priella, now addresses you. Where is? A very special greeting to everyone, to my wife Ana Lucía Pineda, the nation's first lady, and to my good friend Jorge Valen, who is an exceptional patriot and Colombian . A round of applause for him. Thank you, Jorge. To the Minister of Trade, Industry and Tourism, Mauricio Gómez Amín. To the Minister of Housing, City and Territories, Jaim Andrés Beltrán. To the manager for the regions, Valerila Laforí, to the governor of the department of Quindío, Juan Miguel Galvis, to the vice minister of Tourism, Juan Felipe Franco, to the mayor of the municipality of Quimbaya, Juan Manuel Rodríguez, to the mayor of the municipality of Montelegro, of Montenegro, the mayor of Montenegro is here, here is the mayor. Thank you, thank you dear mayor. To my good friend Andrea Longuinotti, to the president of the Colombian Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies Anato, to the president Paula Cortés, thank you Paula, to the executive president of the Hotel and Tourism Association of Colombia, Cotelco, José Andrés Duarte, to the national executive president of the Colombian Tourism Association, Responsible Acotur, Laura Durana, to the director of the National Park of Agricultural Culture I mention him again for the second time because he deserves it Jorge Valen. A round of applause for this monster and his family, of course. Here is his family, his wife, his children, his son- in-law, Mateo. Greetings to the presidents of the various trade associations, directors and business owners in the tourism sector of Quindío. And to the workers of this Panaca national park that is in the heart of Colombia. To the officials of the national government, to the regional commanders of the military forces and the national police, to the media that accompany us and in general to the entire community that is here today. To talk about Panaca and Jorge Valen is to talk about patriotism, about wanting to do things, about disruption, about madness too, but it is we who are called crazy, we who really change the world. Jorge Valen has done something wonderful, and that is to understand what the true vocation of us Colombians is. The economies of countries have three stages. the agricultural stage, the industrial stage, and the technological stage. We haven't even gotten past the agricultural stage. We're going to do it with God's help. And that is our true calling. What is in the soul of the Colombian and in the heart of the Colombian is to be farmers, to cultivate the land, to raise our animals. And there is great tourism potential there. And this man saw it when nobody else could. Thirty years ago, talking about this was truly crazy. Today it is an essential part of Colombian identity. And when one speaks of Panaca, one feels that one is speaking of Colombia, of the homeland, synthesized in a series of things that the inventiveness of this great patriot carried and materialized against all odds. And just like me, they always told him, "That ca n't be done." And that's what we like, being told that it can't be done, because as the master Picasso said, "My dear Jorge, we do the impossible because the easy things are done by others." I congratulate you on this. He also said something that I find essential, which is that human beings spend their lives going around in circles only to realize in the end that happiness lies in the simple things in life, like the smell of the countryside and the sounds of animals. This enriches the spirit. You know that my retirement is going to be on a farm, right? That's what I long for when I retire. A farm surrounded by wild animals and there is great potential there, and Jorge Valen saw it in time. That is why we, dear Minister Mauricio Gómez Amín, must take advantage of Jorge's knowledge, because Jorge is a wise man on these issues and we must make use of those Colombians who, through their experience, have an encyclopedic knowledge of life and of certain topics such as those that Jorge Valen handles. So, I ask that everything Jorge Ballen has proposed here has been heard, reviewed, and that he help us as an advisor to donors, because there is no money and he doesn't want it either, and there is no money for anything else in this government either . We are cutting costs. A donor advisor on these issues, because there is potential here, and it is a double potential. The future of Colombia lies in agriculture and tourism. And this vision of business and this vision of the country that Jorge Valen has synthesizes these two worlds, tourism and the countryside, masterfully fused for one basic reason. And all of this has been built from the heart and with God's blessing, and that's why it is what it is. And that is why, despite the adversity you have had to face and that Panaca has had to face, here it is and continues to be a benchmark. And when things got complicated here, he left for Costa Rica, then the Dominican Republic. He called me about 8 years ago, "Come on, come with me as a partner." I told him, "I can't stand a bad project, I told him, I'm entangled in like 20 of your crazy ideas." I told Valen, "But he invited me to be a partner in the Dominican Republic." So this Panaca experience, which brings together the two worlds of tourism and agriculture, needs to be given a state policy, because in both areas we have a wonderful opportunity for our country. Also, I'm telling you something from the heart: this makes me so excited that I was telling my wife we ​​have to bring my children. My children weren't born here or raised here; they've been in Colombia for a year now, and I dream that they can see all these beautiful places and spend a week here in Panaca doing everything that's done here and experiencing the unique beauty of such a wonderful place. We, I managed to take them once when we were in Bogotá, they were little and we went to the Panaca in La Sabana, but this is the real one. This is the real one, the original. So, dear minister, we must take advantage of Valen's experience. We are going to make this tourism possibility not just a government policy, but a state policy. We will review, through the economic emergency decrees, how we can structure some of the shortcomings of the sector and then turn them into law . But this has to be a state policy, a government policy, I insist, two wonderful potentials, tourism, agriculture, countryside. Colombians are the best at that, and we have to take advantage of that opportunity that God gave us. So, dear Jorge, thank you for everything you have done for Colombia. Thank you for giving up your peace of mind, for giving up the sleep and peace of mind of your family, for dedicating yourself to these things that fill us Colombians with pride. You are a dreamer, but you materialize everything, and that's what we dreamers are, the ones they call crazy, the ones who truly transform the world. Thank you for that patriotism, Jorge. I want you to know that you have always been a role model of entrepreneurship, patriotism, struggle, and commitment, and Jorge Valen has always been there fighting for Colombia. You are a source of pride for Colombia, dear Jorge. And thank you for this legacy. Look, my dear friends, fellow countrymen and tourism entrepreneurs, there can be no more appropriate place to talk about the future of tourism in Colombia than this park which for years, almost 30, Jorge, has paid homage to one of the deepest roots of this homeland, its peasant and agrarian culture. Panaca is a living reminder that Colombia was also born in the countryside, on the farm, in the harvest, in patience, in the wisdom of the farmer and in that ancient relationship between man, land and animals. Panaca demonstrates that what springs from the countryside, from our beautiful customs and our way of life, can become a great opportunity for Colombia and for the world, because this model that you have here is unique. They copied it, but you invented this here. And it is precisely this possibility of tourism that I want to talk to you about today, because in this department that I love so much, tourism is not a secondary activity or a simple complement to the economy, Jorge, it is an essential part of its present and one of the great bets for the future, not only for Quindío, but also for Colombia. Tourism drives a large part of the economic life of Quindío. Hotels, restaurants, farms, coffee plants, parks, commerce, transporters, artisans and thousands of families whose livelihood depends on tourism rely on it. But also, Andrea, you who come from Italy and Italy also has a great tourism industry, look, this is unique in the world. Andrea is fascinated flying over these lands. The most important thing is that this department, dear compatriots, did not have to invent an identity to attract visitors. This is an identity that has always been there, innate. It is in the mountains of Quindío, in its coffee plantations, in its beautiful and picturesque towns, in its architecture, in its gastronomy, in its customs, but above all in its people. The people of the Coffee Region, along with Antioquia, are the people who know best how to provide service and who best develop tourism. And we can't find that anywhere else in the world. The people's friendliness and warmth is an absolutely unique and special element that no other tourism in the world has. And we must take advantage of that potential of our people so that all of Colombia and the rest of the world know that here there is a treasure, a treasure called Quindío. Therefore, protecting tourism in this department, dear friends, is a priority and must be a state policy in which we take advantage of such qualified voices as that of my good friend Jorge Ballen, because here we are defending much more than a source of income. We are protecting a fundamental part of Colombian identity, and after the earthquake, that task is even more important and transcendental. It makes no sense to rebuild homes and roads while allowing one of the sectors that can most quickly help us get back on our feet to weaken. My government's decision is clear. We are going to help recover the affected tourism infrastructure, but we are also going to take advantage of this recovery to give a new boost to tourism in Quindío, as in the reconstruction. We are not only going to rebuild, we are going to improve what was there, we are going to improve tourism in Quindío. And here we have a government committed to that because I understand the importance of this sector and what has been achieved here, which we must apply in the rest of Colombia, I insist, as a state policy through Fontur. And these are concrete announcements because this is a government, dear friends, that gets things done. This is a government that did not come to do the same old politics, but to change politics forever, not with promises, but with facts and results. Through Fontour, we will allocate, as we have already said, 2 billion pesos to support the recovery of 107 affected tourist establishments in Finland and Circassia. And we're going to do it immediately, right, Minister? Through Impulsa, also from the Ministry of Commerce, 1 billion pesos will be allocated immediately to micro-businesses and informal businesses that were also affected by the earthquake. We already have that census and we're well underway with it. Each beneficiary will be able to receive up to 5 million pesos to rebuild their business or venture. It is extremely important to help hotels and establishments, but also small business owners, family restaurants, artisans, and those who live off a business they built with years of sacrifice and effort. And here, allow me to make a small aside, almost a commercial. All our fellow citizens can help in that endeavor. Come to Quindío, explore its towns, enjoy its magnificent hotel offerings, eat its wonderful food in its restaurants , buy its products, visit its parks and coffee farms. Delight in these passages, these trails, these mountains. This Queian land is waiting for you all. Dear fellow countrymen, every tourist who arrives helps a business to breathe, a job to be maintained, and a family to be able to move forward. That, my dear compatriots, is also called solidarity. I am asking the entire cabinet and high-ranking officials of the national government, including the president and his family, to spend the end of the year in the Coffee Region with our families, promoting tourism ourselves in this beautiful land that God has blessed with so much wealth. The government, I want to tell you, is also studying the possibility of reducing airfares. the VAT on those air tickets to and from the areas hit by the earthquake to facilitate the arrival of visitors as a very special incentive for this area. We are reviewing the fiscal impact, but I fully intend to do it. If we lower the VAT on tickets to the coffee region, this place will be flooded with tourists. And that's the idea, and we're going to accompany you, Governor, in the carnivals you have at the end of the year, and we're going to do it with pleasure because this is a land that is in my heart and that I'm going to defend as it should be, as the people of Quindío deserve. Another very important thing, Jorge, is the tax-for-works mechanism. The possibility of building tourism infrastructure through tax-for-works projects has already been included. In other words, we're going to rebuild everything that's been lost through tax-for-works projects, and why not start new projects? because we have all the possibilities in the department of Quindío. This decision opens up the possibility for many national and foreign private companies to come and invest here. And in that regard, Minister, I would like to ask you a favor: let's hold a special fair, a round where we invite international and national investors to come and invest in Quindío with special incentives that the government will provide. We are going to put together a project in that sense to hold a round from here, we can even do it from Panaca to bring investors here and properly reactivate this fundamental engine for the region and the country, which is tourism. We'll do it before the end of the year, Minister. This will undoubtedly be an important way to attract investment, and we will do it with full commitment because this land deserves all the good things that can happen to it. And thanks to the work with UN Tourism, we have managed to secure 100 scholarships to strengthen the training of those who work in the tourism sector here in the department of Quindío. So, as you can see, the government's commitment is total. We are here with you facing adversity, but also thinking about the possibility of rebuilding our country in the best way. And a fundamental pillar of that reconstruction is agriculture, it's the countryside, it's tourism, and we have that possibility in our hands. We must take advantage of it and enhance it, dear Jorge, and I hope you will advise us on that because you have a knowledge that few people in the world have about it. So we are counting on you for that, on that committee of wise men, to help us rethink this possibility for all of Colombia and, why not, as you have been doing, export this model to other countries. May God bless Quindío, may the pain be transformed into hope. the difficulty in work and that patriotism materializes into fulfilled dreams. We as a government will do everything in our power. I ask God to give us the strength and endurance to go to all territories, to protect us from those who want to harm us because they resist a Colombia in peace, but not peace. negotiated with the bandits so that they can do whatever they want. A true peace, which is the peace that is imposed by the force of arms and the laws of the Republic. And that security and that true peace is the cornerstone of everything, because as Jorge Valen has rightly said, there is no possibility of development and absolutely nothing good for a country if there is not first security and family. Security, family, and God. three pillars on which this government will concentrate and which will allow us all to build, my dear Jorge, that miraculous homeland that Colombia deserves. I want you to be clear that this government is absolutely committed to the cause of Quindío, to the cause of agriculture, to the cause of tourism, and that we will always be here fighting with you for a better future. May God bless Quindío and today more than ever I stand firm for the homeland. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Mr. President. Very well, in this way we are concluding this event with the announcements made by President Abelardo de las Prilla to strengthen the tourism sector of the Coffee Region. Many thanks to everyone who has tuned in to this broadcast. Have a great afternoon everyone.
