For his part, the president, Gustavo Petro, said at the presentation ceremony: “Today we need to end hunger in Colombia and not by begging outside our borders. Part of this change, which means ‘producing’, is the basis of wealth, it is what is consigned in that PND (…) I hope that all Colombians are capable of building Peace, which is not only that of weapons, but that of society. So, good wind and good sea to the National Development Plan”.

We understand that development involves doing justice to the territories and populations that have historically been marginalized and excluded”.
