Blinken said the 4 billion USD in financial aid that President Joe Biden has promised Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, will be managed by NGOs rather than local government agencies to avoid corruption.
The two officials agreed to increase cooperation in security, anti-crime efforts, and fair distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in the region.
