From its conception, the Andean Pact was perceived as the accelerated effort of a group of countries to integrate, as a unit, in a more harmonious concert of policies and trade with the larger countries of the region. The question about the validity of the Andean Group in the current context of the world situation and Latin America has only one answer: the Andean Group continues and will continue to have a profound meaning for a fuller development of our peoples and for a better and more independent economic and political insertion in the Latin American and international context, despite the uncertainty of the panorama not only of Andean integration but of the entire process of regional economic and political cooperation.
