"I am very excited and happy. Rosario reminds me a lot of my hometown, my childhood. I was born in Guayaquil, next to the river," Correa said. And he added, "I am very grateful to the Rosarinos for the affection and to the governor who invited us to this visit. We talked a little bit about the situation in Latin America, what is happening in Ecuador and Argentina, the history and the illustrious citizens of Rosario."
