Comunidad Andina de Naciones

The Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN), or Andean Community of Nations, is a regional organization comprising countries in the Andes region—such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It aims to promote economic integration, cooperation, and development among its members by unifying trade policies, reducing barriers, and fostering collaboration on social, cultural, and environmental issues. Established in 1969, CAN helps member nations work together to improve their economies, create regional stability, and enhance their global presence through shared initiatives and policies.
