In conclusion, I would like end with the words I used at the beginning of my statement. I would like all I have said to be a satisfactory response to the curiosity and expectations created by my new Government. Nonetheless, in addition to all I have said, I must utter two simple words that transcend all cultural barriers. They are words that are never out of place in relations among peoples. In recent years, however, we have not heard them enough from Ecuador. Those words are “thank you”.
