El Salvador is pursuing initiatives to expand its international commercial presence and connect local businesses with foreign markets.

Strategic efforts include the launch of the ‘Puente Empresarial Perú-El Salvador’ by the Corporación de Exportadores de El Salvador (Coexport) and the Cámara Peruana de Franquicias (CPF). This agreement focuses on facilitating joint ventures, foreign direct investment, and cross-border expansion through specialized training and trade missions. Coexport is also preparing to navigate market opportunities in Bolivia in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Complementing these bilateral efforts, the TradeExpo 2026 event, organized by Camarasal and Invest, provides a platform for local companies to engage directly with international buyers to strengthen the country’s international projection and explore regional Central American markets.
