after having received it from Chile —one member of this regional bloc also composed of Colombia and Mexico.
Here are the first measures to be implemented:
- Bring the opportunities and benefits generated by the Pacific Alliance closer to its citizens —a population of approximately 233 million inhabitants.
- Boost intra-alliance trade, through the use of the trade protocol to be harnessed by economic operators.
- Involve micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) more actively in the bloc, fostering their internationalization and improvement of capacities.
- Consolidate the Pacific Alliance as a regional integration platform, expanding its membership with the accession of countries Costa Rica and Ecuador.
- Enhance the international projection of the mechanism, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, boosting negotiations with candidates for Associated States, particularly with South Korea.
-Set dates for meetings of political authorities-National Coordinators, High-Level Group (Deputy Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade) and Council of Ministers.
-Resume the organization of a series of trade, investment, and tourism promotion events that will benefit our MSMEs through various platforms for their internationalization.
-In October, Peru will host the eighth Youth Meeting of the Pacific Alliance.
