The The new foreign policy of Nayib Bukele's government

Abstract

This paper addresses the transformation of El Salvador's foreign policy, its emergence on the international stage, the new elements that characterize it, and the decisive role of President Nayib Bukele in establishing a new type of international relations. This new approach prioritizes multilateralism as a means to achieve economic growth through the diversification of Salvadoran exports, and by extension, to reach higher levels of social development. The diplomatic rapprochement between the United States and El Salvador is analyzed, stemming from the friendship between the two presidents, their shared commitment to democratic principles, and their common fight against terrorism and drug trafficking. The Salvadoran president's speeches before the United Nations General Assembly have been constructively critical of the UN, outlining the conditions he inherited in El Salvador and how he has transformed them.
