Noting that he had worked on a similar agreement to provide
end-use, security and retransfer assurances for helicopters
during former President Ernesto "El Toro" Perez Balladares'
tenure, Ahumada said that these kinds of exchanges of
diplomatic notes were "routine." Accompanied by MFA Legal
Advisor Iana Quadri, Ahumada said that they would translate

our proposal as soon as possible.
