Foreign Policy
El Salvador's foreign policy centres on economic development, migration management, and maintaining strong ties with the United States (its largest trade partner and host to over two million Salvadoran expatriates). The country is a member of SICA and CAFTA-DR.
El Salvador has shifted its diplomatic posture in recent years, breaking relations with Taiwan in favour of China (2018) and pursuing a more independent stance in regional affairs. Its Bitcoin adoption has created new diplomatic dynamics around financial innovation and sovereignty.
