Belize and El Salvador signed a Partial Scope Agreement in San Salvador, opening new export markets for Belizean products and formalising efforts to deepen trade between the two countries.

The signing included a Belize trade mission made up of private sector representatives, including the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry, alongside government officials and other trade stakeholders.
