The  presidents will hold three \u201cvirtual summits\u201d every two months between  now and the June summit to speed up negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0By June 4,  2012, the four countries will agree on a timetable for the elimination  of rules of origin within members of the bloc, which, in effect, would  allow exporters of all participating countries to ship goods to other  member countries without paperwork, as if they were shipping them within  their own countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Creation of a joint stock exchange. Chile,  Peru and Colombia have already launched their combined stock market,  known as Integrated Latin American Market, or MILA. Mexico has signed a  letter of intent to join MILA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Creation of joint export promotion offices abroad to save costs and  expand their reach. Currently, the four countries respective trade  promotion offices participate in fewer than 2 percent of China\u2019s trade  fairs. By combining operations, they will be able to increase their  presence substantially, and can offer joint export packages capable of  meeting the volume requirements of China\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Creation of a  common visa that will allow business people from the four countries,  and eventually professionals and tourists, to travel without visas  within Alliance member countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement is aimed at  being the most profound, and most ambitious, of all Latin American trade  integration blocs,\u201d Sergio Diazgranados, Colombia\u2019s minister of Trade,  Industry and Tourism,  told me in a telephone interview.<\/p>\n<p>My  opinion: Latin America\u2019s Pacific Rim countries, all of which \u2014 except  Ecuador \u2014 have free trade agreements with the United States and Canada,  are trying to form a trade bloc that can serve as a platform for Asian  companies to export goods to the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>At the  same time, the Alliance member countries want to use the Pacific bloc  as counter-weigh to Brazil\u2019s growing clout in Latin America. Mexico,  which  has lost significant weight within Latin America in recent years,  wants to regain some of its  clout in the region by becoming the  biggest player in the new group.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the ultimate fate of the  Alliance of the Pacific, its economic goals are more ambitious than  those of Mercosur, or any other Latin American trade bloc.<\/p>\n<p>I  found it very telling that while the Alliance summit was attended by  presidents and their economy and trade ministers, the more publicized  CELAC summit included only presidents and their foreign affairs  ministers. No wonder that the Alliance of the Pacific summit led to  concrete economic integration agreements, while the CELAC one did not go  beyond long speeches full of empty rhetoric.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a
