One of them was the<strong> Minister of Internal Affairs and Territorial Development, Juan Carlos Bidegain<\/strong>, who assured that the El Salvadorian government is committed to implementing system solutions for a more sustainable future. The meeting with the <strong>Minister of Environment, Fernando Lopez<\/strong>, gave insights into the environmental challenges that the country is facing today. <strong>Smart City Sweden<\/strong> also met with mayors of 14 municipalities in the San Salvador Metropolitan Area and agreed on possible cooperation for the development of waste-to-energy plants.<\/p>\n<p>The meetings were organised by&nbsp;<strong>El Salvador\u2019s ambassador to Sweden, Patricia&nbsp;God\u00ednez<\/strong>,&nbsp;who&nbsp;also led key meetings with government agencies and companies related to the issue to gather information on the processes carried out with waste.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Sweden is a leader in sustainable development and offers some of the best technologies for converting waste to resources. The development of smart and sustainable cities is a priority for the Government of President Nayib Bukele, and therefore this project is very important for us.
