Jaime Raúl Salamanca, President of the Chamber of Representatives, supported this position by pointing out the importance of inter-institutional collaboration to achieve an effective impact on economic recovery: “This is a significant step forward, where all actors can seek opportunities for recovery. It is crucial that we work together so that Colombia enters a path of growth.”
Salamanca also stressed that creating a secure environment is essential to attract investment, insisting on the need to moderate political discussions to generate confidence. “Without security, there is no confidence to invest; we must generate a technical debate that allows us to find joint solutions,” he said.
Congresswoman Angélica Lozano, for her part, recalled the agreement reached in Manizales and stressed the importance of holding regular meetings to assess the progress of the plan. “It is essential to maintain this dialogue between Congress and the Government,” she said, adding that meetings will be held every six weeks to review progress and adjust actions as necessary.
