The Ibero-American Conference on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was held from the 27^th to the 29^th of June and was attended by more than 400 participants. The aim of the meeting was to strengthen our commitment to achieving the United Nations’ Goals for Sustainable Development for 2030.

This is an important event that takes us closer to those goals in the Ibero-American region. I would like to give my sincere congratulations to Fernando Rodríguez and his team for the work they have done.
