REGION: Calderón shakes up PPP integration scheme
The Plan Puebla Panamá (PPP), an initiative designed to spearhead
regional integration and regeneration, was rechristened Proyecto Mesoamérica
during a meeting of the nine heads of state of Mexico, Colombia and Central
America in Villahermosa, the capital of the southern state of Tabasco in Mexico
on 28 June. The decision to change the name was calculated to give a fresh
impetus to a project that has stagnated. It is also allowed Mexico's President
Felipe Calderón to take ownership of a scheme launched by his predecessor,
President Vicente Fox, in 2001.
