Brussels Energy Club continued its global outreach by chairing the El Salvador–Belgium Investment Forum on 21 November 2025, held at the premises of the Brussels Chamber of Commerce.
The seminar was organised by the Embassy of El Salvador in Brussels, in cooperation with the Government of El Salvador, and supported by the Latin American Development Bank.
This high-level gathering featured presentations from senior officials of El Salvador’s government and diplomatic services, alongside representatives of the European Commission. Diplomats from other Central American embassies in Brussels also participated, together with business stakeholders and regional experts.
Chairing the Forum, Dr Marat Terterov of the Brussels Energy Club highlighted the global competition for foreign direct investment (FDI).
He noted that “many countries struggle to attract FDI into their economies. The global FDI environment is highly competitive. Governments must create attractive market conditions, offer solid incentives, and provide clear guarantees to investors. It is evident that the Government of El Salvador is taking the right steps, pursuing a clear investment strategy and positioning itself effectively to capture investor interest.”
Addressing developments in the country’s energy sector, Dr Terterov added:
“El Salvador’s energy policies are moving in the right direction. The government is adopting a sustainable approach by integrating a balanced mix of renewable energy sources while continuing to rely on strategic resources such as geothermal energy. El Salvador is the land of volcanoes—an asset for energy development and a strong driver for tourism.”
