Lopez Obrador and his Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele, agreed to implement the Mexican development programs "Sowing Life" and "Youth Building the Future" in El Salvador, which aim to create jobs and curb labor outflow.

"We hope the United States government and Congress will hand over the 4 billion U.S. dollars that President Biden offered to invest in these programs, so that they can be expanded in the three countries of Central America," Lopez Obrador said, referring to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
