La Alianza del Pacífico: ¿apuesta estratégica de la política exterior colombiana?

The article develops a comparative study of bilateral treaties of the members of the Pacific Alliance with China, South Korea and Japan since 1990. This field of study has been little explored; hence the article seeks to provide a first approach with special emphasis on trade relations. Therefore, the document presents a comparison between main indicators of foreign trade and the bilateral treaties with Asian counterparts. Afterwards, it focuses on the use that can be given to rules of origin within the Alliance. The text concludes that Colombia, due to its position among its partners of the Alliance, can make use of cumulation as a strategy of short and medium term to promote and diversify international trade.
