‘Brexit’ won't stop regional integration

Thursday, December 8, 2016


Central America's economic integration process has undergone various phases since its beginnings in the 1960s but is still alive and remains a goal so highly coveted by its members that British exit - "Brexit" - from the European Union will not cause it to falter.

"I don't think there's a danger of 'Brexit' making Central America question its interest in integration. This is a longstanding desire in the region, dating back since long before the EU existed," the head of the Secretariat for Central American Economic Integration, Carmen Gisela Vergara, said.
