{{Politics of El Salvador}}

[[El Salvador]] is a member of the [[United Nations]] and several of its specialized agencies, the [[Organization of American States]] (OAS), the [[Central American Common Market]] (CACM), the [[Central American Parliament]] (PARLACEN), and the [[Central American Integration System]] (SICA). It actively participates in the Central American Security Commission (CASC), which seeks to promote regional arms control.

In November, 1950 El Salvador helped the newly empowered [[14th Dalai Lama]] by supporting his [[Tibet]]an Government cabinet minister's [[telegram]] requesting an appeal before the [[General Assembly of the United Nations]] to stop the Communist [[China]]'s [[People's Liberation Army]]'s invasion of Tibet.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=The Story of Tibet:Conversations with His Holiness the Dalai Lama|last=Laird|first=Thomas|publisher=Grove Press|year=2006|isbn=9780802118271|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/storyoftibetconv00lair/page/303 303–305]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/storyoftibetconv00lair/page/303}}</ref>

El Salvador also is a member of the [[World Trade Organization]] and is pursuing regional free trade agreements. An active participant in the [[Summit of the Americas]] process, El Salvador chairs a [[working group]] on market access under the [[Free Trade Area of the Americas]] initiative.

El Salvador has joined its six Central American neighbors in signing the Alliance for Sustainable Development, known as the Conjunta Centroamerica-USA or CONCAUSA to promote sustainable economic development in the region.
