Peer comment(s):

Ronnie McKee

Señor Presidente de (pais), (name) = President X of [country]
Señora (name of president's wife) = First Lady X
Señor Secretario de Turismo, (name) = Secretary of Tourism [name]
Sr. Embajador, (name) Ambassador [name]
Since all of the dignitaries are presumably from the same country, the name of the country would not have to be repeated after the introduction of the president.
Suerte.
