The objective of the Inclusion and Diversity Fair is to continue promoting the processes of economic, cultural and social empowerment for these populations and communities and allow them to be sustainable over time, through the alliances that can be generated with different sectors of society. Within the framework of the fair, the symbolic signing of the Great National Pact for Inclusion and Diversity took place, in which representatives of the public, private, academic and international cooperation sectors participated.
