Thanks to that action, more than 20.000 children under the age of two are free from chronic malnutrition, and my Government has achieved all of that through an investment of $650 million in a matter of 28 months in office. Achieving solutions does not depend on how much money a State has but on the degree of political will of those who govern it. Even in a context of lower- than-average oil prices, my Government has prioritized State resources for this cause because there can be no growth or economic development if we do not invest in social issues and in our children. We hope to share our experience with everyone here in this Hall and to unite our efforts so that in the near future we can all say together that the world is growing without child malnutrition.
