Just Say SICA For Culture
Thu, November 20, 2014
Culture remains the topic of discussion among members of the Central American Integration System, SICA. On Tuesday we reported on the Food security program launched for Garinagu communities in Central America including Belize. Today discussions continued at another meeting held on San Pedro. The Central American Integration for Culture Policy was reviewed as well as programs that will give momentum to this initiative.

Minister of Tourism Manuel Heredia Jr. discussed the importance of this meeting to the preservation of the diverse cultures in Belize and in Central America.

Hon. Manuel Heredia Jr., Minister of Tourism
"It's a very important occasion for Central America and the Dominican Republic since we believe that culture is an integral part not only for our countries, but also for the tourism industry."

Carlos H. Lepiz, Secretary General - CECC/SICA
"We are talking about identifying areas of common interest that will reflect the priorities of other countries as a region, in order to design projects that will meet those needs and priorities in the area."

There will be another meeting tomorrow focusing on Culture and education.
