Shaping the Future of the Asia-Latin America and the Caribbean Relationship

Trade, investment, and financial relationships between developing regions are deepening. There is no better example than the relationship between Asia and the Pacific on one hand, and Latin America and the Caribbean on the other. To capitalize on the vast potential for interregional cooperation, we have undertaken a special joint study examining how to bolster the relationship between Asia and Latin America, and enhance the catalytic role of our respective regional development banks. Shaping the Future of the Asia-Latin America and the Caribbean Relationship analyzes the economic ties between our two rapidly growing regions, how to remove existing trade and investment barriers, and how to support greater South-South cooperation.
