# ACAP welcomes Ecuador's new National Contact Point to the Agreement

A communication has been received that Ecuador, a Party to the Agreement, has appointed a new National Contact Point.

 He is Daniel Ortega, from the Environment and Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (contact at [dgmedamb@mmrree.gov.ec](mailto:dgmedamb@mmrree.gov.ec)).

 The ACAP Secretariat welcomes Daniel Ortega to this position and looks forward to working with him when the Sixth Advisory Committee convenes in Guayaquil, Ecuador from 29 August to 2 September this year ([click here](https://acap.aq/english/english/advisory-committee/ac6/circulars)).

 The Secretariat offers its grateful thanks to Ecuador's outgoing National Contact Point, Federico Meneses.
