The President of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, was one of the participants in an anti-inflationary economic and trade Summit convened by the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
The meeting advocated to face the problem of inflation together, to lower prices and face shortages, as well as the exchange of food imports and exports and the elimination of tariffs.

10 heads of state from countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Argentina and Bolivia were also present in the anti-inflation summit in Mexico.
The Prime Minister of Belize, Juan Antonio Briceño, and Foreign Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Keisal Melissa Peters, were included.
