Canada-Central American Four (CA4)
A free trade agreement with the Central American Four countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua – the CA4) would strengthen the commercial relationship between Canada and the CA4 countries.
After more than nine-years of talks, Canada is closer to reaching an agreement with Honduras than it is with the other three countries. For this reason, Canada is currently concentrating on bilateral negotiations with Honduras.
Within this context, Canada and Honduras met in Ottawa from December 6-9, 2010, for a free trade agreement negotiating round, and met again in Tegucigalpa from February 14-18, 2011.
Canada remains open to re-engaging in negotiations with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, once negotiations with Honduras are complete.
In 2010, British Columbia exported $105 million of goods to Central America and the Caribbean.
