This instrument was signed by the president of the la Comisión Nacional de la Micro y Pequeña Empresa (CONAMYPE), Paul Steiner, and a group of canadian businessmen interested in offering in that destination various articles made by local entrepreneurs and artisans.

The "Casas Comercializadoras" initiative is a strategy promoted by this Government for the internationalization of our country's MSMEs and the increase of their exports, through business and cooperation agreements with stores and companies in different destinations around the world for the promotion and sale of salvadoran products. In this case, the agreement aims to position our entrepreneurs in the Canadian market, a destination that offers great opportunities both for business and for the development of our micro and small enterprises.

"With this letter we seek to establish the coordination mechanism for the establishment of this trading house, which will contribute to the growth, economic and social development of the country, through the internationalization of this productive sector", said the head of CONAMYPE.

Alba Sánchez, representative of the Department of Economic Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, said that this action is the result of the economic diplomacy strategy carried out by the institution to promote business and international trade, in this case, for the benefit of our entrepreneurs.

The new trading house will be in the city of Markham, province of Ontario, Canada, and joins others already located in that country and in Honduras, France, Colombia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Holland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Canada and China.
