Peru: The Pacific Alliance Seeks New Members
Pacific Alliance (PA) members are meeting in Colombia during October 23-27, 2017, to evaluate the inclusion of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore as Associated Countries. The PA countries account for 39 percent of Latin American GDP and traded over a trillion dollars in 2016. In general, the PA members have embraced open market and sound economic policies, which has led them to sign individual trade agreements with most of the world.
