The meeting marked the III Round of Bilateral Political Dialogue, aimed at solidifying the friendship and cooperation between the two nations. According to Mira, the discussions reaffirmed a mutual commitment to joint actions and strategies involving key stakeholders.
“We are working to strengthen commercial ties with Qatar by promoting Salvadoran products and services in their market,” said Vice Minister Mira. “Together with Minister Hayem, El Salvador reaffirms its interest in expanding business opportunities and fostering economic growth.”
The discussions emphasized shared priorities such as education, early childhood development, health, culture, and environmental sustainability. Mira reiterated El Salvador’s dedication to bilateral collaboration for the benefit of both nations.
Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently unveiled the Economic Diplomacy Strategy (EDE) 2025-2029, a roadmap positioning El Salvador as a global investment hub and world-class tourist destination. Highlighting the nation’s internationally recognized security improvements, Mira noted these measures have not only dignified the Salvadoran people but also created a favorable environment for economic development, productive investments, and stronger international relations.
Key goals include promoting El Salvador’s export offerings, attracting investments in strategic sectors, increasing tourism, and signing economic agreements. The meeting with Qatar is seen as a significant step in achieving these objectives.
