Honduras has engaged in several diplomatic efforts to strengthen its security and strategic ties with international partners.

In mid-August 2026, Israel and Honduras signed a memorandum of understanding to expand security cooperation. During a visit by a Honduran defense delegation, officials discussed strategic issues and shared lessons learned from Israel’s recent multi-front security challenges.

By late August 2026, Honduras furthered its regional cooperation through an official visit by President Nasry Asfura Zablah to the Dominican Republic to meet with President Luis Abinader. The visit resulted in several bilateral cooperation agreements focused on commerce, investment, tourism, and agriculture, aiming to build upon a bilateral exchange that reached approximately $1.165 billion between 2020 and 2025.

Security and defense remained central to these discussions. Both leaders agreed to enhance intelligence sharing to combat transnational organized crime and drug trafficking, specifically through mechanisms like the Shield of the Americas. President Asfura expressed formal interest in acquiring military equipment manufactured by the Dominican Military Industry (Indom), specifically TP-75 Dulus patrol and training aircraft and Furia armored tactical vehicles, to bolster Honduran police and military capabilities.

The leaders also addressed regional challenges, including migration, the situation in Haiti, and the impact of sargassum. Additionally, Honduras requested technical advisory from the Dominican Republic to prepare for hosting the XIII Central American and Caribbean Games in Tegucigalpa in November 2029.
