Seven Years and Counting

In 2011, four Latin American countries formed a trade bloc called Pacific Alliance. They are Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Canada, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand and South Korea are in a negotiation process to be associate members of Pacific Alliance. According to the Ambassador of Colombia to Indonesia and ASEAN H.M. Mr. Jose Renato Salazar, Indonesia is potential to also be an associate member as it already has an economic agreement with Chile and is in the a negotiation process with Peru. Celebrating the seventh year of the cooperation, the embassies of the four countries in Indonesia hosted a cocktail party, attended by government representatives of many countries including Indonesia, Australia and Panama.
