El Salvador continues to attract growing international business attention as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs Caleb Orr visited the country alongside a delegation of American investors to evaluate strategic investment opportunities.
During the visit, the delegation toured several locations in the Historic Center of San Salvador, accompanied by Alejandra Durán, executive director of the Salvadoran Tourism Corporation (Corsatur). According to the Embassy of the United States in El Salvador, the mission aims to identify concrete opportunities for investment and strengthen economic cooperation between both nations.
Orr highlighted what he described as the country’s remarkable transformation, praising El Salvador’s progress in security, economic development, and infrastructure modernization. He noted that the administration of President Nayib Bukele is positioning the country as an emerging hub for technology, nearshoring, and high-value international investment.
The U.S. official also emphasized that improvements in public security and legal stability have contributed to creating one of the region’s most attractive investment climates. He pointed to growing interest from venture capital firms and technology investors, particularly in sectors linked to artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and data centers.
According to Orr, El Salvador’s pro-market reforms and focus on innovation are drawing attention from major U.S. companies seeking strategic expansion opportunities in Latin America. He further highlighted the importance of bilateral economic relations, describing El Salvador as one of the United States’ strongest regional partners.
The visit reflects increasing international confidence in El Salvador’s economic outlook, as the country continues advancing efforts to attract sophisticated investment projects and strengthen its position within the global technology and nearshoring landscape.
