the pacific islands is a very interesting model because they are not only free flow of goods but also serve as capital of qualified labor. this is an interesting model to watch in the region. it is so interesting that asked on my count there were over at dirty countries of the pacific alliance including many countries in asia and a think in the future, this is an important connecting point between latin america and asia. second that i wanted to highlight is that there has been balderas backlash in some countries, some countries in latin america are in the opposite direction. this is the case in argentina there are other major transitions in economic positives. they have reduced export taxes. they have streamlined and and words and remittances in the country is in a full-fledged effort to integrate global markets and attract foreign direct investment. i think that is a very important change in the region. as a matter of fact, the country reunited again the negotiations for the e.u. that has been sold for a number of years. so the word feature is that there are still others in the regio
