ALIMENTEC WILL TAKE PLACE IN COLOMBIA:

Colombia is the third-largest economy in Latin America and the fastest-growing in the region, with key sectors such as oil, mining, agriculture, and a booming technology industry.

Additionally, it is a member of the Pacific Alliance, one of the most dynamic trade blocs in Latin America, representing nearly 40% of the regional GDP and strengthening trade with Chile, Mexico, and Peru. Through various free trade agreements, such as those with the European Union, the United States, and South Korea, Colombia facilitates access to international markets, further driving its economic growth.
