Pacific Alliance: Leading Integration in Latin America

The Pacific Alliance is an integrated, regional trading bloc made up of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. They share a population of 217 million with a combined average GDP per capita of $16,759 in purchasing power parity. The alliance provides opportunities for foreign investments as its members move toward the free movement of goods, services, resources and people. Join ambassadors from the member countries for a discussion on the outlook for the alliance and Latin America
