Brasilia, September 30


The Presidents of the countries of the South American Community of Nations have received with satisfaction the recommendations put forth by Presidents Tabaré Vásquez and Hugo Chávez Friás in their letter of 10 August 2005. The recommendations are a valuable contribution to strengthening integration and solidarity among the peoples of South America.

The Presidents are gratified to note that many of such recommendations are already reflected in the Declarations and Program of Action approved by the I Meeting of Heads of State of the countries of the Community.

With a view to a prompt decision on these issues, the Presidents of the countries of the Community decided to instruct the Pro Tempore Secretariat to undertake the pertinent consultations within 90 days.
