In 2016，the Salvadoran government of left-wing party FMLN led by President Salvador Sánchez Cerén still faced challenges in fiscal weaknesses and high crime risk. As indicated by the FMLN’s failure to gain a majority in legislative elections in March 2015，the parties’ fragmentation posed fundamental risks to political effectiveness. Former presidents incurred corruption trials. Due to the impact of global economic situation，economic growth rate remained low and financial situation continued to deteriorate，despite the positive performance of domestic demands. In order to improve social security and relieve the pressure on governance，the President had taken a series of measures to struggle against gangs，but his effort yielded little effect. The priority of foreign policy was to maintain close relations with the US and other Central American countries，while focusing on the issue of immigration. Besides，El Salvador promoted commercial relations with China.
