The Government of El Salvador has unveiled its Economic Diplomacy Strategy for 2025-2029, aiming to foster exports, attract investment, promote tourism, and leverage trade agreements. This comprehensive initiative, led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be implemented through the country’s network of 104 embassies, consulates, and trade offices worldwide.

The strategy aligns with El Salvador’s Economic Plan, addressing historical challenges like security, which have previously hindered growth. With improved conditions, the nation now positions itself as a top regional destination for business and travel.

“This strategy embodies our commitment to transforming diplomacy into a driving force for national growth,” said Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Adriana Mira. She emphasized the importance of integrating government resources, private sector collaboration, and international partnerships to boost trade, create jobs, and attract high-value investments.

Key objectives include enhancing the country’s export portfolio, increasing capital flow in strategic sectors, and strengthening El Salvador’s global presence through targeted agreements. It also prioritizes high-impact projects in transportation, renewable energy, and technology, supported by the nation’s strong export platform, low inflation, skilled workforce, and strategic connectivity to global markets.

So far in 2024, the Ministry has achieved $3.5 million in export sales across industries like plastics, coffee, and textiles, alongside $111.5 million in investments in real estate, tourism, and manufacturing.

The strategy launch was attended by key officials, including Secretary of Commerce and Investment Miguel Kattán, Economy Minister María Luisa Hayem, Tourism Minister Morena Valdez, INVEST President Rodrigo Ayala, and COEXPORT President Silvia Cuéllar.

With this roadmap, El Salvador is set to strengthen its competitiveness and pave the way for a prosperous future on the global stage.
