93. Within limits which it has so far been impossible to overcome, the United Nations is fulfilling a praiseworthy task in the field of international co-operation, through such important bodies and institutions as the Bureau of Technical Assistance Operations and the recently established Special Fund; and the delegation of El Salvador is pleased to recognize and welcome, on behalf of its Government, the co-operation received from both of these, as well as from the Economic Commission for Latin America [ECLA], particularly in connexion with the various projects in the programme of Central-American economic integration and with the first project for the Central American Institute for Research and Technology. 94. The programme of free trade and economic integration in Central America, which was started some years ago on the initiative of the Ministers of Economic Affairs of the five Central American republics — Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua — within the framework of ECLA, is continuing to develop satisfactorily.
