PUERTO VARAS, Chile (Reuters) - The presidents of the four nations in Latin America's Pacific Alliance trade bloc met on Friday to forge an integrationist path that runs counter to Britain's recent exit from the European Union, emphasizing the need to make economic growth more inclusive.

The bloc, composed of Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Peru, accounts for 38 percent of Latin America's gross domestic product. Some 92 percent of trade between member nations is free of tariffs.
