The opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange was rang today by Ricardo Martinelli, President of Panama.
The General Assembly of the United Nations is now the stand for all the Presidents of the world, who have a unique opportunity to address a highly exclusive and qualified audience, and whose words could be heard around the world.

What do Central American Presidents say in those speeches?
How do they take advantage of those few minutes of global exposure?

We offer you below the complete speeches of the presidents of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama (Nicaragua's wasn't available or had not happened yet), for you to judge them and voice your opinion on who took better advantage of this opportunity to serve their country.

We invite you to write to us, specifying your selection, and, if possible, including the most representative phrases of the chosen speech.

We have made our choice, and for us, the words of Ricardo Martinelli, Panamanian President, were the best:

Panama is the ideal place to invest, establish companies and to live. We are going to transform Panama into the Hong Kong or Dubai of America.
Within the new Economic Area Panamá-Pacífico, labor and migratory laws are friendly and flexible.
Incentives for investors are great all across the country.
Our spirit of service and open doors, make Panama a place of fun, excitement and full of opportunities.
Despite the crisis, Panama keeps growing.
Talent and creativity, social assistance, infrastructure and investment in human capital will help us steer through the storm.
Panama was born to serve the world.
Every one who wants to come to Panama is welcome:
We are open for business!
