During the solemn ceremony, a minute of silence was requested in honor of the fatal victims.
At the Hangar of the Special Unit for the Aerial Transport of High-Rank Officers, the Secretary of the National Defense, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Carlos de Icaza González, highlighted the talent and experience of the German structural engineers, who helped review the disaster areas and damaged buildings with the assistance of their internationally valued technology and knowledge.
