The Puebla-Panama Plan (Spanish: Plan Puebla Panamá, acronym PPP also known as Mesoamerican Integration and Development Project, or Project Mesoamerica) is a multi-billion dollar development plan formally initiated in 2001, which is intended to "promote the regional integration and development" of the nine southern states of Mexico (Puebla, Guerrero, Veracruz and points south) with all of Central America and Colombia. The initiative was championed by the then president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, and agreed to by the governments of the respective participating nations.

Famous quotes containing the word plan:
“...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
