A delegation of business leaders and trade association representatives from the chinese region of Chongqing expressed interest in developing investment projects in El Salvador, with a focus on the automotive, environmental, and light industrial sectors, during a meeting with government officials and local business leaders aimed at strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries.
The mission, led by the Consejo Chino para la Promoción del Comercio Internacional (CCPIT) and supported by the Chinese Embassy in El Salvador, seeks to identify business opportunities that will lead to investments and the establishment of strategic partnerships with salvadoran companies.
CCPIT representative He Yi explained that companies in Chongqing believe El Salvador offers favorable conditions for foreign investment, thanks to its strategic location in Central America and an environment that facilitates the development of new projects. He noted that the goal is to promote initiatives in areas with growth potential, such as the automotive industry, environmental projects, and light industry.
In addition to these investments, the delegation expressed interest in strengthening trade by creating opportunities for the promotion and marketing of products from both countries. Among these, high-quality salvadoran coffee stands out, as they believe it has good prospects for gaining a foothold in the chinese market.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Adriana Mira noted that El Salvador continues to strengthen its competitiveness and its integration into international markets, which opens up new possibilities for attracting foreign investment and expanding national exports. She said that the economic relationship with China is increasingly complementary and that there are opportunities to boost sectors such as agribusiness, manufacturing, logistics, the digital economy, technological innovation, and tourism.
Meanwhile, China’s Ambassador to El Salvador, Zhang Yanhui, highlighted that Chongqing is one of his country’s major industrial hubs and has a market of approximately 32 million consumers, representing significant potential for expanding bilateral trade and investment.
The event was attended by Miguel Kattán, Secretary of Commerce and Investment, and Raymond Villalta, advisor to the President, who participated in meetings aimed at turning chinese companies’ interest into concrete projects that will boost investment, job creation, and economic growth in El Salvador.
