Spanish term or phrase: apuntó
Buenas noches,


En Guatemala, la Agenda de País 2021 **apuntó** al fortalecimiento de capacidades de nuestros aliados con el objetivo de hacer mejor frente a las adversidades de años venideros.

Quiero encontrar un sinónimo en español, pero no se me ocurre ninguno por el momento.

Como de costumbre, todos sus aportes son bienvenidos.

Se me ocurre "... the 2021 Country Agenda was aimed at strengthening...."

Saludos
