Scope: The countries in Central America individually are small populations ranging from 3.5 million (Panama) to 14 million (Guatemala). Collectively the population is about 52 million. But there is potential for economic and trade relations, revealed by the fact that this region collectively has two way bilateral trade amounting to US $ 25 billion with USA alone larger than with India, Russia and Indonesia. In terms of language and distance, SICA is far from India but given the technology age, a lot of areas for mutual cooperation can be expanded with India. Although SICA has failed to attract a significant level of foreign direct investment to Central America, SICA’s intra-regional free trade programme has proved beneficial to the region.
