In El Salvador, 2012 marked the beginning of the 3rd Indicative Cooperation Programme (2012-2015), in which the main form of bilateral intervention is the support for the national “Caring Communities” Programme through a financial contribution to the Joint Programmatic Support Fund “FOCAP”. According to the latest reports, the two main rival gangs (maras) concluded a truce on 23 March 2012, thanks to mediation by the Catholic Church. The Luxembourg-Central American Chamber of Commerce based in Panama was formed on 5 October 2012, within the context of a joint visit of Luxembourg’s Honorary Consuls in Central America.
