About the Regional State Council

The Regional State Council is a space that allows Executive Branch officials to listen to the perspective of regional governments regarding national issues and attention to the unlocking of projects.

At these meetings, bilateral working groups are formed so that each regional government can meet with various sectors and receive assistance to carry out relevant public works.

The purpose of these meetings is to be able to unlock those infrastructure projects whose execution will benefit the most vulnerable population.
