What is the Pacific Alliance?

3

The Pacific Alliance is a regional integration initiative whose member states are Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The Pacific Alliance was established by the Declaration of Lima signed in April 2011. For its establishment, two very important aspects are taken into account: • The economic integration of Latin America as a fundamental tool for promoting a regional presence in the international markets.

• The dynamism of the Asia-Pacific región.

PACIFICALLIANCE

1. To build, in a participatory and consensual manner, an area of deep economic integration and to move gradually toward the free circulation of goods, services, capital and persons.

2. To promote the larger growth, development and competitiveness of the Parties’ economies, aiming at achieving greater welfare, overcoming socio-economic inequality and achieving greater social inclusion of their inhabitants.

3.  To become a platform for political articulation, and economic and trade integration, and project these strengths to the rest of the world, with a special emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region.

Its objectives are:
