The UK’s relationship with the Pacific Alliance – Report by the International Relations Committee

The Pacific Alliance is a regional integration initiative established by Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru in 2011. The UK is an observer.

The International Relations Committee recently conducted an inquiry to investigate the role of the Pacific Alliance, the UK's engagement with it, and how it can be used to strengthen the UK’s economic, trade and political relationship with Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.

The report produced from the evidence sessions makes a number of recommendations on why and how engagement with the Pacific Alliance can be deepened, advocating a more coherent strategy post-Brexit.
