UN General Assembly
2018

We have been able to maintain economic growth amid complex regional volatilities. We have seen cities transform, a boost in production sectors and an expansion of the middle class while we adapted to the challenges of globalization. We have made progress in gender equality and in the worlds of work and education. In recognition of that progress, I named the first Cabinet with gender parity in the history of my country. But there is much to be done on that front, and we will continue to move forward. In proudly telling of that history, I commit myself as a Colombian and I am even more so as we move towards 2019, when we will celebrate the bicentennial of our independence.
